Add a CommentBack in the days of being bright-eyed youngster, I was someone who certainly had my treasured collection of "Calvin & Hobbes" comic books, too.
I can still recall the big, joyful kick that I often got out of reading about the comical adventures that these two vivid, little characters had together.
And - Hey! - Even today (as an adult) I find that I can still appreciate (with a childlike wonder) author and creator, Bill Watterson's perspective on the thrill and wonder of a thriving childhood (as fondly seen through the eyes of Calvin & Hobbes).
Great book I laugh every time I read it.
These are amazing.. a three book set.. but unless you want to binge read all of it I would recommend checking them out in order as there is a lot of material to cover. I read a lot but I find daily comics hard to push through like a novel so I read 3-5 weeks at a single setting to appreciate it.
Funny stuff... ok really funny.
sometimes gross... but also very funny and often sweet
For anyone who's not at all familiar with the "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip - Here's a brief outline of what one can expect to see in this volume....
This cartoon follows the often-humorous adventures (both real and fantasized) of Calvin, a precocious, mischievous and very outspoken 6-year-old rugrat, and his sardonic, stuffed tiger, Hobbes.
Together these 2 rascals (especially Calvin) get themselves into all sorts of comical predicaments that cover such broad issues as public education, philosophical quandaries, environmentalism, and flaws of opinion polls (to name but a few).
At the height of its popularity - "Calvin and Hobbes" was featured in over 2400 newspapers, worldwide.
i luv these books
Bill watterson has spent ten years creating one of the most clever, original, and beautifully drawn strip in the history of comics. Personally, I think 10 years of a masterpiece like Calvin and Hobbes is better than 40 years of recycled fat jokes (garfield)
The best comic ever. Perfect for kids, adults, or tigers.
I love Calvin and Hobbes. Always have. Calvin is relatable and SO FUNNY!!
Calvin and Hobbes never ceases to have me in stitches!!
