Grateful Dead ST Calvin And Hobbes Tie Dye

My friend Mikey, a huge Grateful Dead fan, sent me this shirt one day – Grateful Dead ST Calvin And Hobbes Tie-dye. Looking at its name, the first thing that came to my mind was: What is the connection between the Grateful Dead and Calvin & Hobbes? The shirt even contains the entire lyrics to the Grateful Dead’s song Saint Stephen on the back. Curiosity drove me to seek out information, and here are some interesting facts I found…

The first connection will, of course, be artistic, between music and painting. Bill Watterson is the author of Calvin and Hobbes – he’s also a huge Grateful Dead fan. He attended many of their concerts and even drew some illustrations of the band. The most interesting thing here is that some of the characters in Calvin and Hobbes are also said to be inspired by members of the Grateful Dead: Jerry Garcia – Calvin, Bill Kreutzmann – Hobbes, Donna Jean Godchaux – Susie Derkins… However, Bill Watterson has never confirmed or denied these theories.

Spirit of freedom and adventure: It’s easy for someone who is a fan of both the Grateful Dead and Calvin and Hobbes to recognize this. The Grateful Dead’s music often represents optimism and joy of life, a spirit of freedom and adventure, which we can also find in every episode of Calvin and Hobbes.

Some fans believe there is a personal connection between Bill Watterson and members of the Grateful Dead. They claim that Watterson was inspired by his personal experiences with the band to create the characters and stories of Calvin and Hobbes.

In addition to the generalities mentioned above, there are some more specific details in the Grateful Dead – St Calvin and Hobbes connection. For example, in some pages of Calvin and Hobbes it is possible to see an image of a t-shirt with the Grateful Dead logo printed on it, similarly we have a Grateful Dead St Calvin and Hobbes Tie-Dye shirt
