Is there a novel that captures the simple aestethic and moral feel of Calvin and Hobbes that some strips such as pic related have?
Not his dinosaur and spaceman imagination
but when the two talk plainly about thought provoking things
without diving too deep and avoiding to seem pretentious by not explaining or elaborating on them.

unironically just check out some recent high-middlebrow stuff. I'm talking like Cloud Atlas or Kazuo Ishiguro

Idk, huge fan of C&H here. Grew up with him all my childhood and there really isn't another way to capture what the comic did because it's a graphic.
Really, I'd suggest getting all the Calvin and Hobbes books. I've got 4 full books of the comics on my self with any duplicate comics. There's a lot of material, and it's still great to read even as an adult. It's very humbling.

You should try Rupi Kaur. Very deep but simple poetry.
