Episode 29: The Prehistory of Calvin and Hobbes (with History Dispatches)

Hard as it is to believe, there was once a world with no Calvin and Hobbes. In this episode we join Matt and McKinley Breen from the podcast History Dispatches to discuss the prehistory of the strip, from Bill Watterson's birth to the point that Calvin and Hobbes was picked up by Universal Press Syndicate. Come join us to learn how we got our beloved comic strip! Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. We would love to hear from you! You can email us at [email protected] And you can join our Facebook page here!
