Bill Watterson has an excellent way of looking at us from a slightly twisted child's point of view, but a child who has to be a genius or near-genius. Read and enjoy today.Įvery "Calvin and Hobbes" book contains wonderful insight into our society, children, and parents in general. There are laughs and quotable lines throughout this book. That's why spring is just sprouting in one strip and we're back to New Year's Resolutions in the next.īut as any fan of the strip will tell you, that hardly matters. There is a weird time jump in this book since Bill Watterson took a nine month sabbatical before coming back for the final year. And the social commentary, while 20 years old, is still spot on, sadly. Even though I've read this book countless times before, I still laugh at the familiar strips. And, while we have seen some of these set ups before, like Calvin's snow art, the punch lines still get laughs. Honestly, this book is more stand alone laughs that full on stories. Together, they have all kinds of adventures, including enhancing Calvin's brain to give him an idea for a topic for his paper or fighting to keep Calvin from being bad leading up to Christmas. Hobbes is his best friend stuffed tiger who is alive thanks to Calvin's imagination. New to the comic strip? Here's why you should buy it.Ĭalvin is a typical overactive six-year-old.
For fans of the series, there isn't much to say but buy the book. Hard to believe this is the next to last Calvin and Hobbes collection.
