Tin-Tin comics are so pleasing and calming to look at, and provide a really nice mix of simple and stylized character designs, and more detailed and intricate environments and interiors. In "Explorers On The Moon," the backgrounds have so much detail I wonder if they were referenced from photos at the time. The human characters are so simple, with the iconic dot eyes and rosy red cheeks. Its the perfect sort of comic for someone who loves adventure and exploration. It does feel very heavily marketed towards boys, I didn't notice any female characters. I also noticed the tracing technique that was probably used, to quickly copy the same character multiple times.

Oldies

I really cant describe Calvin and Hobbes without the word 'charming.' They really embody quintessential childhood nostalgia, and appeal to younger and audiences for their clever and whimsical stories and style. My mind jumps instantly to the times when I've looked after that age group, specifically younger family friends who's brains operate in a similar vein of imagination. Somehow, the stories tap into something thats universally relatable.
Krazy Kat seemed much less accessible to me, and a bit dated. They didn't hold up as well as some of the other cartoons, perhaps because of the style and more realistic stories. It does feel really reminiscent of some old Mickey Mouse cartoons, probably because they were for the same demographic.
Peanuts is another favorite that i think holds up quite well. Theres something pretty funny about cynical kids, talking dogs, and just the right amount of more mature adult humor. I really liked how Peanuts would use darks to totally block out dark color, it make things much more interesting and visual to look at.
