The Scandal of Reading 34 | Daniel Nayeri on Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Visitor Daniel Nayeri joins Jessica to speak about their shared love for Invoice Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes. Within the dialogue, a principle is posited that as we transfer in the direction of a increasingly more visible tradition (i.e., graphic novels, status tv, and YouTube), Calvin & Hobbes marks the ascendancy of that visible medium and the decline of the standard novel.
