Description Toward Books The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury (Calvin and Hobbes #1-2)
Perhaps the most brilliant comic strip ever created, Calvin and Hobbes continues to entertain with dazzling cartooning and tremendous humor. Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you. Beginning with the day Hobbes sprang into Calvin's tuna fish trap, the first two Calvin and Hobbes collections, Calvin and Hobbes and Something Under The Bed Is Drooling, are brought together in this treasury. Including black-and-white dailies and color Sundays, The Essential Calvin and Hobbes also features an original full-color 16-page story.Specify Of Books The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury (Calvin and Hobbes #1-2)

Oh the endless bounties of insight that Calvin and Hobbes offers. There is only one reason why so many people have filtered into this page and others like it. Calvin and Hobbes resonates so profoundly with its readers due to its near perfect representation of the joys of adventure and discovery. To treat the series as an "escape" from reality does not do the strip justice. Like all artists, Watterson does not shackle us into his world. Rather, like a kind, older brother vigorously rousing hisI still remember that moment when his eyes began to glaze over. In all fairness, he had been at work all day, dinner was ready and I had already gone on for ten minutes. Which was a shame because I had finally reached the critical turning point. The Knights of Castle Dresser were looking down in despair at the surprise arrival of Roman legions in my model Dragonship. From the Eastern Hall they had sailed with their Viking crew to besiege the bottom drawer. Im sure its partly my fault my dad had
Another review I just saw (almost totally unrelated ... oh well) reminded me I should give this five stars. I have loved C&H for years. One of my greatest disgusts with generally-sad newspaper comics is that Calvin and Hobbes are not there. Chronicling the practically endless exploits of fine young Calvin, his stuffed (?!) tiger Hobbes, and occasionally others: Calvin's wartorn parents (especially his fabulously sardonic dad), the ever-sappy neighbourhood kid Susie, and long-suffering
As Mrs. Messmer mentioned about the Authoritative Calvin & Hobbes book, there were a LOT of hard-core vocabulary words that I hardly knew. But if you look them up, you can easily understand the comic. Calvin is a whiny, uncooperative 6-year-old kid who thinks the whole world revolves around him, and the stunts he pulls off makes me laugh. It kind of reminds me of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Basically, I'm talking about all the Calvin & Hobbes books, all the way up to the last comic
Went back to book from my childhood recently and found it as enjoyable as I did those many years ago (perhaps even more so). There was poignancy in Calvin & Hobbes I never even noticed when I was a kid. Lovely, funny, fantastic stuff.
My dad gave me this book Christmas 2009, and I prior to reading it last week, I had not experienced Calvin and Hobbes. Well, that isn't completely true. I had read one or two strips, I suppose. Seen other people reading it. But I hadn't experienced it. I had not sat down with a thick, luscious book full of Calvin and Hobbes strips, full of wonderful, pinpoint and intelligent humour.When I did finally sit down, I fell in love. So to all my friends out there: how dare you not kidnap me and
Funny with more than the occasional insight.
