Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world. The story of a boy and his best friend — a stuffed tiger — was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In \u003ci\u003eLet’s Go Exploring\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination — its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations — helped make \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e North America’s last great comic strip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Hingston (CA)","offers":[{"title":"ECW Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2018-05-01","offer_id":44255651528959,"sku":"9781770414136","price":12.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d4a37253-3d4d-4b72-80de-32da688bdf22.jpg?v=1694620047","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770414136","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
