I think pretty much everyone is a fan of CALVIN AND HOBBES. Even folks who don’t like comics probably like Bill Watterson‘s amazing creation. But is it possible that Watterson was a fan of KEVIN THE BOLD?
In the spring of 1991, Calvin assumed a new identity.
Calvin the Bold! Though it caused befuddlement in Calvin’s universe, the name sure rings a bell for me!
CALVIN AND HOBBES ran in 2,000 newspapers. To have been the (likely) inspiration for Watterson is quite an honor. KEVIN THE BOLD had been out of print for decades.
Would his new identity last? That would be so cool.
Well, yes, but for only three days (April 8–10, 1991). Besides, it’s bad form to give yourself a nickname. In polite society, sobriquets should be bestowed by others.
