    8 Greatest ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ Comic Strips of the 1990s, Ranked (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes began its syndicated run in the fall of 1985, ending 10 years later on December 31, 1995, with thousands of strips seen in thousands of newspapers nationwide. Calvin and Hobbes took time to evolve, not only with the number of people who read it, but also with an evolution in Watterson's style. By the time the '90s rolled around, the comic was just as popular as the likes of Peanuts, Garfield, and The Far Side. Calvin and Hobbes only ended because Watterson was

    The 10 Greatest Rock One-Hit Wonders of All Time, Ranked (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Although rock music is released on albums, it was the radio single which, for so long, and still to an extent today, got the attention of music fans and allowed bands to break out and become legends. Who would Nirvana be, for example, if not for their hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? Then there are those bands who never quite became all-time greats, but who still had fifteen minutes of fame thanks to one song which broke through on the radio charts or on MTV. For a moment, these bands became just

    In the 1980s and 1990s, newspaper comic strips reached their peak as The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes became just as popular, if not more so, than classics such as Peanuts.

    The Best Rock Album of Every Year of the 2010s (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you're a rock and roll fan of a certain age, a common thought mostly likely running through your mind is that the once popular music genre is dead. After its rise with Elvis Presley and The Beatles, hard rock took over in the 70s and 80s, before grunge had its moment in the 90s. Then came the 2000s and the age of the internet and social media. Slowly, rock's importance fell away, and new iconic bands didn't develop. Rock music, sadly, doesn't dominate these days, but that doesn't mean it's st

    HBO’s ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ Is Making a Major Genre Shift in Season 2 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When it was first announced that Stephen King's novel It, which had already been adapted into a miniseries and two movies, was returning again as a prequel series on HBO Max, it felt like an unnecessary cash grab.
