If you have to explain your art, it isnât working. However, just because you refuse to explain your art doesnât mean itâs good. This sort of the difference between career and passion, I think.
âI cannot paint portraits (if only I could). / Nor can I sculpt objects in marble or wood. / So I merely paint blobs or fling drops on the face / Of a blank canvas to fill up the space, / And criticize you when you say itâs no good!â

I doubt Calvin is going to ask his mother for the food coloring.

If being an artist doesnât work out, he can be an art critic.

All these big words that Calvin uses and he still gets "F"s?

He may struggle academically at school, but when it comes to Philosophy or Art Calvin is pretty advanced.

Is Hobbes saying that it would look better with a little bit of yellow? It looks like a cyclops owl.

I like abstraction, especially in Calvinâs snow art. Panel three shows the âpure formâ Watterson strives for in his Calvin and Hobbes comics.

With that level of discourse, along with that vocabulary, no wonder Calvin is bored out of his skull at school.

Only this strip would ever say something like âI notice your oeuvre is monochromatic.â

Invite a dog for a viewing. The yellow streak can represent the random indignities of life.

I am going with Hobbes. Calvinâs art did not reflect his shady character. A very honest acceptance by Watterson.

Use the yellow snow for a dash of color.

Real artists NEVER apologize for their artistic expression â and always claim any limitations in media as part of the artistic expression.

Iâve been waiting for this one. The âoeuvre is monochromaticâ comment is so out of left field.

Calvin has strong verbal and visuospatial skills but is poor at single-digit arithmetic. There is no place for him in this world.
