The most magnificent thing about Calvin and Hobbes is ..... Calvin and Hobbes.
The second most magnificent thing is Calvin and Hobbes was never licensed.
The third most magnificent thing is it stopped whilst it was awesome instead of being wrung out for every penny.
There's no films, no sequels. You can't buy a licensed tshirt with Calvin and Hobbes on it. There's no licensed merchandise. No one has made it into a live action movie. Calvin and Hobbes are not available this month on MacDonalds cups if you buy a second whopper burger. You can't buy plush toys of Hobbes. There isn't a Christmas special TV show. Giant balloon figures of Calvin and Hobbes do not appear in city parades.
Imagine if Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit had been kept so pristine.
