Editorial Reviews

"At some level, all American childhoods are the same, which probably explains our lasting love affair with Calvin and Hobbes." (Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post)

"Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes,' easily one of the most beloved comic strips of all time..." (Bryan Hood, New York Post)

"A student of comics, Watterson drew from an eclectic set of influences...The result was a strip that was vibrant, accessible, and beautiful." (Jake Rossen, Mental Floss)

From the Publisher

Yet another Calvin and Hobbes collection compiled from Watterson's daily syndicated comic strip. YAs will enjoy Calvin and Hobbes' triumphs as they outwit Rosalyn the babysitter or discover life on Mars via their intergalactic ``little red wagon''; they'll see the daring Spaceman Spiff battle vile alien monsters; and they'll shiver with terror as Calvin the tyrannosaurus rules the late cretaceous period. Every YA patron deserves to be transmogrified.
