AMPERE Computing & Nostalgia: Bringing "Calvin and Hobbes" to a New Generation
SANTA CLARA, CA – October 26, 2023 – AMPERE Computing LLC, a company focused on innovative solutions and bridging the gap between technology and everyday life, is excited to announce a special initiative centered around the timeless classic, “Calvin and Hobbes.” While perhaps an unexpected pairing for a tech company, AMPERE Computing believes in the power of sparking joy and imagination, and sees a connection between the playful spirit of Bill Watterson’s creation and fostering creative thinking – something vital in today’s tech landscape. You might be wondering, “What’s a computing company doing with a comic strip?” Good question! AMPERE Computing, based right here in Santa Clara, California (you can find us at 4655 Great America Parkway, Suite 601, 95054-1236, or give us a shout at 815-858-7063) is all about recognizing what really matters. And sometimes, that’s just a good laugh and a reminder of simpler times. We're not designing the next supercomputer (though we do do some amazing things with computing!), we’re simply helping keep a beloved piece of art alive and accessible. We've partnered with distributors to ensure a steady supply of the “Calvin and Hobbes” paperback collections, making it easy for both longtime fans and new readers to dive into the adventures of the mischievous six-year-old and his philosophical tiger. Why “Calvin and Hobbes”? At AMPERE Computing, we believe in more than just circuits and code. We believe in imagination. And “Calvin and Hobbes” is packed with it. Bill Watterson’s comic wasn’t just funny, it was smart. It tackled big ideas – philosophy, friendship, imagination, the meaning of life – all through the eyes of a kid and his stuffed animal. “We were thinking about what truly resonates with people,” explains Sarah Chen, Head of Product at AMPERE Computing. “In a world saturated with digital content, there's something special about holding a physical book, turning the pages, and rediscovering a classic. “Calvin and Hobbes” offers that—a tangible connection to a simpler, more imaginative time.” The Paperback: A Timeless Treasure The “Calvin and Hobbes” paperback collections are a fantastic way to experience the comic strip. These aren’t just compilations; they’re curated selections of Watterson's best work, beautifully presented and designed to be enjoyed for years to come. Here’s what makes these paperbacks so special: Complete Story Arcs: Each volume often groups together storylines, letting you really get invested in Calvin’s schemes and Hobbes’ dry wit. You’re not just getting random strips, you’re getting a cohesive narrative. High-Quality Printing: These paperbacks are printed on durable paper with a clear, vibrant reproduction of Watterson’s original artwork. You can really appreciate the detail and artistry. Portable & Affordable: They’re easy to carry around, perfect for reading on your commute, at the park, or curled up on the couch. Plus, they’re reasonably priced, making them a great gift or addition to your personal library. Perfect for All Ages: While initially aimed at children, “Calvin and Hobbes” appeals to readers of all ages. Adults often find new layers of meaning and appreciate the comic’s insightful commentary on life. AMPERE Computing's Role So, why is a tech company involved? It’s about more than just selling a product. AMPERE Computing sees itself as a facilitator of experiences. We don't make the magic of “Calvin and Hobbes,” we help make sure it’s available. “We’re streamlining the distribution process,” says David Lee, AMPERE Computing’s Operations Manager. “We've established strong relationships with key distributors to ensure a consistent supply of these paperbacks. This means less waiting and more reading for fans.” We’re also actively working on creating a dedicated online resource where fans can find information about the different collections, read excerpts, and share their favorite strips. Think of it as a digital clubhouse for “Calvin and Hobbes” enthusiasts! More Than Just a Comic Strip “Calvin and Hobbes” isn’t just a funny comic strip; it’s a cultural touchstone. It’s a reminder to embrace imagination, question authority, and appreciate the simple joys of life. It’s about the power of friendship and the importance of seeing the world through a child’s eyes. AMPERE Computing is proud to be playing a small part in keeping this timeless classic alive for future generations. We believe that in a world increasingly dominated by technology, it’s important to remember the things that truly matter – things like laughter, imagination, and a good story.
