If you didn’t grow up reading Calvin and Hobbes, I’m not sure we can be friends. The comic’s author and illustrator, Bill Watterson, creates a world as seen through the imaginative eyes of its six-year-old protagonist. Calvin, who goes on adventures with his best friend, a stuffed tiger who may or may not be real, can be a bit of a terror at times. The everyday issues Calvin runs into may be mundane from the outside looking in, but to him, they are anxiety-inducing and life-changing.
We recently met a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan that has been dealing with problems that are far from mundane. For most of his life, Nicholas’ day to day issues would be better classified on the level of life-and-death from anyone’s perspective. Rather than complaining about his difficulties, as Calvin might do, Nicholas has maintained an effervescent smile that will light up any room.
