it's because this generation refuses to grow up and enshrines everything from their childhood in the 80-90s and the comic is about how great it is to be a kid so that helps too

C&Hs popularity probably has something to do with the complete and utter lack of irony/insincerity that permeates every aspects of the aging millenial's life now.

I don't think millenials are old enough to have even read C&H in the newspaper when it was running and I'm not even sure what you mean when you say that. C&H's popularity was because it was just a genuinely good cartoon a midst a sea of poo poo. It was never political, and yes it did bring up religion occasionally but never in a brute force kind of way; overall was just a kid, his tiger and imagination. If you were a kid while the strip was syndicated, it was very easy to see a bit of Calvin in yourself. I never had an imaginary pet and I grew up in Texas so I never had any snow but so many aspects of the strip were so relatable and the humor and messages so markedly different and more poignant than other strips at the time that it left a lasting impression. On top of that, it has that rare quality that two different generations of people can often laugh at the same strip but for different reasons. Plus the art was gorgeous on the Sunday strips.

Millennials aka people born in the 80s were exactly the target audience for C&H during its run.

I really, really liked Calvin and Hobbes, but if you think it wasn't political you either haven't read it recently or you're out of your mind. Calvin was used as a strawman to viciously skewer Generation X, particularly during the latter half of its run. Basically every time Calvin builds anything in the snow, Watterson is practically speaking directly to the audience to make a point about art and commercialism. Go back and read it again knowing what you know now about Bill Watterson. He definitely had an agenda and he got increasingly comfortable pushing it as time went on.

Go back and read it again knowing what you know now about Bill Watterson. He definitely had an agenda and he got increasingly comfortable pushing it as time went on. He was preachy as gently caress but his morals were at least stimulating enough to make you think.. like his stance against postmodernism always made me laugh my loving rear end off.. and the psychobabble which is now the loving norm. If you told me in '95 when he gave up C&H that in 20 years people who aren't even old enough to really understand sex would be claiming they're born the wrong sex, wrong species, and have the soul of a toaster- I would have beat some sense into you.

I meant unironic. Basically it seems like nobody from my generation wants to admit to having sincere liking or appreciation for anything, it all has to be cynical or tongue in cheek.

While we were talking about ridiculous, funny things we were sincere about them."[31]
