Snow is Wonderfull

You might not have realized this, but snow happens to be the greatest thing ever. Calvin and Hobbes is up there too.


I think as a cartoon Calvin and Hobbes says a lot about american culture. It is part of our ever growing media, and is an example of american society's value of humor. What makes Calvin and Hobbes so special is that it uses humor to often provoke thought on American culture. I feel that the use of snow as a symbol of opportunity and possibility shows how natural landscape can shape the values of an individual or even a country. The eagerness C&H show to create something new reminds me of Jefferson's dream to create an new culture out of the "undeveloped" American territory.
