The podcast segment bring up a few points, but you’re welcome to pick up where it left off. Record your conversation and submit it here.

  • The comic strip never specifies exactly where Calvin and his family live. Do you think this was intentional?

  • Bill Watterson took great inspiration from Peanuts. How do the comics compare and contrast from each other?

  • Why do you think there has never been an animated version of Calvin and Hobbes?
