I'd seen various books in this show's style but never got around to reading them until after the show premiered. The style is reminiscent of Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes but in some ways I like Xavier Riddle more than both of those combined. At least nobody is putting everyone down or bossing around the weaker ones like in those two aforementioned strips. Still, I like the lessons that Xavier Riddle and his little friends impart on their viewers and how they meet various folks from ancient history. It's a sweet combination and it's got time travel and comedy too. As of about a year or so ago, this is my new-favorite PBS show. I will watch more and I am ready for adventure. Won't you be?
