What Can We Learn From Calvin & Hobbes
August 23, 2007 | Filed Under church, culture, gospel |
I love the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip written by Bill Watterson. I have C&H on my sidebar gadgets, my laptop screen saver, and we have C&H books scattered in what seems ever room of the house. Like many others, I was disappointed when Watterson made the decision in 1995 to retire from cartooning. Well, I was delighted to discover a wonderful essay by Fred Sanders titled “What You Can Learn from Calvin and Hobbes about the Message and the Medium” over at The Scriptorium Daily. Sanders discusses lessons learned from Watterson and how those lessons should be applied to the way the church communicates the Gospel of Jesus. (HT: Tim Challies)
