Customer Reviews
Oh, Nostalgia
I picked this one up after far too long an intermission. Calvin's adventures remain timeless, his antics winsome, his spirit soaring. The book that started it all, with all its poignant observations, philosophical ruminations, and side-splitting hilarity. I really hope Bill Watterson spends his much deserved free time egging the houses of the guys who write "Boondocks" and "Family Circus."
The very first Calvin and Hobbes
This is the first Calvin and Hobbes collection, which is clearly obvious when you flip through the first few cartoons and seen that our heros look a little less polished than they would later on. Nevertheless, Bill Watterson's genius was clearly evident from the start. He wastes little time introducing his characters, and merely assumes that we understand that Hobbes will only appear as a real tiger while Calvin is alone. Watterson is a comic genius whose reclusive presence has been sorely missed on the funny pages since his retirement. All we have left are his books. And this is the first of a fantastic series.
Classic Comic
Calvin & Hobbes is one of the greatest cartoons of all time ranking up there with Peanuts & Doonesbury. This is the first collection of strips and we are introduced to Calvin, a six year old with an overactive imagination. He has a stuffed tiger, Hobbes, who comes to life only around Calvin. The strips humorously shows how Calvin drives his parents nuts, his transmogrifying machine where he take on different shapes, such as dinosaurs and his other foibles. Despite it's cynicism. Calvin & Hobbes is about the fears we all face in life and the means we use to confront them.
