Low key important piece of media for my eventual radicalization. It planted seeds in my brain that took a couple decades to germinate.
I always begged my mom to get me Calvin & Hobbes books and I read and reread the fuck out of them. Those and Goosebumps and eventually The Hobbit were the start of me being a voracious reader.
Goosebumps were an underrated entry point for young readers. Unabashed pulp fiction, with high stakes, where things did not always turn out okay in the end. As an elementary school kid, it really let me explore emotions and situations without the kid gloves that other children's media had.
