![]() ![]() I wrote every word, drew every line, and painted every color. This approach kept the strip very honest and personal-everything having to do with Calvin and Hobbes expressed my own ideas, my own values, my own way. I also liked the responsibility of knowing that, succeed or fail, it was all my own doing. There is great personal satisfaction in attending to detail and quality, and I remain very proud of the standards the strip met day after day. I kept my options open until seventh grade, but when I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I dont even like riding in elevators. As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. "Ive loved comic strips as long as I can remember. ![]() An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction: ![]() ![]() Shame is the conception of most sins against ourselves. In my profession, your past can be as damning as a wrong diagnosis. In my vanity, I concealed the ugly and vile. The keys clang together, playing a dark, chiming melody that chills me to the bone. ![]() ![]() A canopy of gleaming silver and bronze and rusted metals held aloft by red string-a blanket woven of blood in the sky. Sweat leaks into their corners, a biting sting like a needle piercing my vision clear. I stare at the tattooed key on my flesh until my eyes blur. The dirt that perspiration hasn’t completely sweated away, revealing the faded black ink along the side of my palm. The ugly beveled grooves from wrapping my fingers with string over the years. Never once acknowledging their beauty and strength-those precious instruments that enable us to do almost anything. We pluck and tug at our face, cursing the years. Fondle our fat, loathing our bodies, especially women. ![]() Taken for granted, our hands don’t get the attention and recognition they deserve.

A Shakespearean tragic hero is a high ranking noble person who fails to reach his goal usually because of a tragic flaw, which is a character flaw that first seems to make a person well renowned, but ultimately leads to their defeat. ![]() In his play, Shakespeare shows that tragic heroes often face certain errors in judgment can inevitably lead to a person’s own destruction. Unfortunately, the inability to be self-critical of oneself that many of the characters in Julius Caesar experience causes them to meet a tragic fate. As Aristotle once said, “A man cannot become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall.” This quote is significantly relevant to both the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and modern-day society because it shows that to be a hero one should be able to understand their flaws. ![]() ![]() ![]() When I tell my friends and family this, they immediately become distressed, and I understand: what could possibly drive a person to want to abandon their entire life and potential future to travel lightyears away, on a very dangerous journey, to an uninhabited, desolate wasteland?

The young Henry Baskerville is portrayed by a handsome young actor who has screen presence. Holmes disguises are nothing short of entertaining. Watson is so well fleshed out on film that it is fun to watch. The working relationship between Holmes and Dr. Basil Rathbone brings Sherlock Holmes to life vividly. This movie stands on its own merits as a spectacular film. Very rarely is a movie entirely faithful to an original book and usually for good reason. It works as a mystery, as a detective story, a suspense story, a buddy film, a romance, a drama and in places it is as about an effective of an horror film as I've seen lately.įor folks that complain that this movie isn't entirely faithful to the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book it came from, I say, "So What?"

This film is a delight!
