Is there any work of modern literature better than Calvin and Hobbes?

Calvin and Hobbes is reddit-tier, there are better comic strips like Peanuts.

Calvin and Hobbes is awesome, anyone who says otherwise is a pretentious contrarian hipster with a big fucking Stick up their arse

No.

I unironically believe that C&H is better than piece of literate to come out in the past three decades.

But it's not really literature because comic strips are primarily a visual medium.

You have a point about the "visual vs literary" aspect.

C&H is great for what it is, and is probably the comic strip that gets closest to being art. That said, its medium (comic strips) is inherently more limiting than straight prose or poetry. Waterson himself would tell you this - that's why he stopped making the strip back in the 90s.

I still like it quite a lot though.
