The Indispensable Calvin And Hobbes Review

This book collects two of my favorite Calvin & Hobbes Books: Revenge of the Baby-Sat, and Scientific Progress goes "Boink." The illustrations are mostly in black and white, but some are in color. Watterson's magnificent blend of simple childhood humor, advanced appropriate grown-up humor, make-believe and childhood realism make this well written and illustrated comic strip a treasure to have in any household. Both adults and children will love it and find themselves laughing silly!

As with all of the Calvin & Hobbes books, this one explores the adventures of a six year old boy (Calvin) and his best friend, Hobbes, a make believe tiger. The comic-strips focus on things such as Calvin's overactive imagination, his hatred of school and girls and the trials and tribulations of having to follow his parents' rules.

The Indispensable Calvin And Hobbes Overview

They're back: Calvin, the six-year-old dirty tricksmeister and master of indignation and his warm, cuddly philosopher sidekick, Hobbes, a tiger whose idea of adventure is to lie on his back by the fire and have his stomach rubbed. In six short years this unlikely due has captured the hearts, the minds, and, most of all, the funny bones of America. They are the msot phenomenal success story in syndication - and publishing - history. In only six years, they appear in more than 2,100 newspapers worldwide, and Calvin and Hobbes wins as many readership polls as Calvin has excesses. All seven of Bill Watterson's collections have sold a million copies within a year of publication. This treasury collection contains a never-before-published full-color section, as well as the cartoons appearing in The Revenge of the Baby-Sat and Scientific Progress Goes "Boink." All Sunday cartoons are presented full-page and full-color.

Like finding an old friend - Phelix -
Loved C&H back in the 1980s and 90s. As a teacher, the lessons struck home at both the surface and deeper levels. Still miss the daily, so it was good to find these books and revisit an old friend. Also liked Watterson's comments and notes that showed what he dealt with daily.

Thanks so much!



Excellent Treasury - Bradley Jamison Conte -
If you're a Calvin and Hobbes fan, you need this collection. If you're not a Calvin and Hobbes fan, you should read this collection so you can become a fan. A good collection even by C&H standards.

Contains the strips from "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Something Under the Bed is Drooling".
