Where in the passage should the following sentence be inserted? When Watterson finally ended the strip in 1995, he drew Calvin and Hobbes departing on their toboggan to explore 'a magical world.'

Inserting the sentence here would disrupt the flow, as the earlier sentences focus on the immediate action of setting down the electronic book and the narrator's feelings of thankfulness. This choice does not connect logically with the themes of departure and adventure that are more pronounced later in the passage.

This option remains too early in the passage. The discussion up to this point revolves around the narrator’s current experience rather than a retrospective look at the comic strip. The proposed sentence about the ending of Calvin and Hobbes would feel out of place before establishing a deeper emotional connection with the characters.

Positioning the sentence here would still feel premature, as the context leading up to this point does not adequately prepare the reader for the transition to a nostalgic reflection on the comic strip. The emotional depth needed to appreciate the departure on the toboggan is not yet established.
