About the author

Bill Watterson (born William Boyd Watterson II) is an American cartoonist, and the author of the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes". His career as a syndicated cartoonist ran from 1985 to 1995; he stopped drawing "Calvin and Hobbes" at the end of 1995 with a short statement to newspaper editors and his fans that he felt he had achieved all he could in the comic strip medium. During the early years of his career he produced several drawings and additional contributions for "Target: The Political Cartoon Quarterly". Watterson is known for his views on licensing and comic syndication, as well as for his reclusive nature.

Reviews

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've said before that "Calvin und Hobbes" is an excellent way to practice your German. If you had any affection for the strip in English, reading it in German is only more enjoyable. A teacher can easily sample from it to make fun exercises for students, and a student may learn a great deal by reading it through. This one seems to have a good number of American cultural references (such as "Halloween") that would not be obvious to German readers, but doubtless most Germans are familiar enough with the basics to follow it.
