I am not only throwing around big words to add some elan in my writing. A true magnus opus in terms of comics craftsmanship, storytelling artistry and evocative soul-stirring. The very last strip of Calvin and Hobbes. Although snow-related strips were intrinsic, and perhaps of the most iconic depiction of experiences for a child-experienced-theme comic strip, there is one specific strip created by Watterson that comes back every time I get to look at snow. Those that I always find in the snow-embracing Calvin and Hobbes strips by Bill Watterson. A certain urge to use this white canvas that so gratuitously comes down and give it a unique palette of tints, hues and feelings. Even though I dislike snow -it’s slippery, dangerous and it rarely meets its potential of a free day from work and/or school- something always stirs inside me.
