He decides to hike from Canada across the frozen Lake Erie to meet Mr. Only the way he decides to go about it is kind of crazy. If a comic shaped his life so far this way, making him “pathologically imaginative”, maybe a new comic could change its direction now. “I just need Bill Watterson to make one more comic strip - only one more comic strip, or even just one panel, of Calvin at age seventeen, healthy and well, with no Hobbes in it.” He’s searching for a way to make sense of what has happened to his brain, some outside factor that could put everything back the way it used to be. Calvin has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and hearing the voice of an imaginary tiger is one of his symptoms.Īfter his hospitalization, he finds a mission. Calvin is the story of a 17-year-old, born on the last day of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip and coincidentally named to match, who’s convinced Bill Watterson can fix his life. Out next month is a fascinating novel by Martine Leavitt.
