Forgive me if my review runs a bit on the sappy side, but I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes, and I sometimes think they are among the best friends I've ever had. Bill Watterson's comic is gentle, sincere, and magical. At its core it is an examination of what it means to be human, and the value of friendship. Watterson's philosophy of the comic strip was that it should be based around characters ...             There's Treasure Everywhere (Calvin and Hobbes)51 reviews Bill Watterson TIME WARNER PAPERBAC, 1996 Calvin is a hero to all nonconformists, may he never grow up If you remember your childhood, you will understand the aptness of the title. Many things, such as rocks, snake skins and twigs are some of the most valuable items you can ever possess. Calvin, being the inquisitive and imaginative boy that he is, can find treasure and adventure in places where other children cannot. That is demonstrated once again in this collection of captions from the Calvin ...             Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons73 reviews Bill Watterson Scholastic, 1992 The Perfect Way To Enjoy Calvin And Hobbes I suppose this could apply to any Calvin and Hobbes collection (not just Attack of the Deranged..., but let me share my favorite way to read Calvin and Hobbes. If possible, I like to pick a rainy Saturday or Sunday. I'm usually already bored and wandering around the cold house. I catch sight of a Calvin and Hobbes book and read a few pages, but my fingers are cold and I can't concentrate. ...             Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes54 reviews Bill Watterson Topeka Bindery, 1992 an epic, great modern day comic strip parable ......... I could relate to Calvin and Hobbes, from the moment I first started following the adventures of the devilish, eternal six year old (Calvin) and his scruffy, stuffed pal tiger (Hobbes). Though, many of the plots appear simplistic (example: Calvin makes a mess and his mother yells at him!), there is so much more to the little strips than meets the eye. For starters, Calvin and Hobbes ponders ...             Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat49 reviews Bill Watterson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1994 Typical Calvin This collection takes place mostly in winter/spring/summer and is not themed (as you would think) along the lines of Hobbes "pouncing" which made me hesitate to purchase it at first because I wasn't that keen on all that pouncing. If you are into that aspect of C&H, however, you can get the C&H Lazy Sunday Book Collection. This one DOES however contain a lot of his priceless snowman sculptures ...             The Essential Calvin and Hobbes45 reviews Bill Watterson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1988 "What Did I Just Tell You?" "Beats Me. Weren't You Listening Either?" And so it began. This treasury included the strips from the first two collections of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. And if you don't know what you have been missing, you are in for a treat. The comic strip follows the misadventures of Calvin, a highly imaginative, hyperactive six year old. How imaginative? His only real friend is Hobbes, his stuff tiger. But that isn't a problem ...             Calvin & Hobbes: It'S A Magical World (Hd)75 reviews Watterson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1996 Life I love this book.

"It's ...             Calvin and Hobbes93 reviews Bill Watterson Demco Media, 1987 "I've tried to return some of the fun, magic, and beauty I've enjoyed in other comics.

It's been immensely satisfying to draw 'Calvin and Hobbes', and I will always be grateful to have had the opportunity to work in this wonderful art form." (p. 208) This book allows us to see the man behind the pen. This collection is a selection of what ...             The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes)329 reviews Bill Watterson Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005 excellent product I think I would not have wanted to know anything.

No matter how many times I read them, I can never get tired of Calvin and Hobbes. They're funny, creative, and are always getting into some sort of hijinx that could just about get them grounded for life. "The Revenge of the Baby-Sat" offers such adventures as that in a funny and entertaining way. Calvin is always getting into trouble. Him and his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, are always faced with ...             Documented Dreams4 reviews Hispanic Institute of Social Issues, 2008 Powerful and inspiring! Working with this population of students as a school counselor I have heard many stories firsthand over the past few years and can attest to the heartbreaking situations these youth have experienced. I have to say that the stories these brave youth share in this collection are inspirational and thought provoking. I would recommend this to anyone interested in social justice, human rights and ...             Not by the Sword: How a Cantor and His Family Tra a Klansman4 reviews Kathryn Watterson Northeastern, 2001 Enlightening and inspiring The first part of this book is a frightening portrait of a dangerous, unstable neo-Nazi. After reading what the book reveals about the personalities of some of these people, racially mixed families might pause before visiting certain parts of our country. Cantor Weiss's ability to show tolerance and kindness to KKK member Larry Trapp is extremely moving and awe-inspiring. One of the things I ...             Weirdos from Another Planet!21 reviews Bill Watterson Andrews and McMeel Publishing, 1990 One of my favorites I love all Calvin and Hobbes books, but this collection has a few of my favorites that never cease to make me laugh out loud, including: "The Disembodied Hand That Strangled People" (I snicker just writing it) The trip to Mars ("We're going in the wagon?" "Of course! What did YOU want to do? Flap your arms?" "I guess I hadn't thought about that part." "Obviously."             Calvin and Hobbes Sunday Pages 1985-199529 reviews Bill Watterson Scholastic Inc., 2002 Insightful looks at classic sunday strips Calvin & Hobbes was much more than a really good newspaper comic strip. Created by Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes will be hailed among the greatest ever created, right alongside Peanuts and Krazy Kat for its creativity, scope of influence and the enjoyment it offered the reader. It was a strip capable of being all things gleeful and all things sad, all things goofy and all things serious. Bill ...             Scientific Progress Goes "Boink"28 reviews Time Warner Paperbacks, 1991 Hysterical and bittersweet When you get right down to it, is there anything better than Calvin & Hobbes? In this compilation or any of the others, you get lessons in quantum physics, nostalgic looks at the agony of grade school, observations in human nature, and a bit of the "thing under the bed" style horror. All this and you'll laugh yourself to the point of wetting your pants. The Calvin & Hobbes strips are hysterical. ...             Something Under the Bed Is Drooling21 reviews Bill Watterson Demco Media, 1988 A vicarious return to childhood What can be said about Calvin & Hobbes that hasn't already been shouted to the heavens by legions of prematurely grown-up fans ?

And if you're a keen reader, Calvin's unique (if rather skewed) perception of the world with keep the kid inside you alive (I don't mean this literally but as a metaphor).

He's all the best and all the worst a boy about five can be, and that covers a lot of ground. If the others around him never quite see things Calvin's way, that's really not his problem. Hobbes will always ...             Something Under the Bed Is Drooling: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection (Calvin and Hobbes (Sagebrush))5 reviews Bill Watterson Topeka Bindery, 1999 Calvin's Tiger strikes back... In my opinion, Bill Waterson is the greatest cartoonist I've seen. This was my very first C & H book and I thoroughly enjoyed it: one of the best. Unfortunately, Mr. Waterson has retired from cartooning, and Calvin & Hobbes is no more - one of the saddest tragedies of the century. In this book and many others, he could magically bring the cartoon to life, as only few others could do (Jim ...              search for books 1985-1995, another, attack, authoritative, calvin, cantor, collection, complete, deranged, documented, dreams, drooling, essential, everywhere, family, hobbes, homicidal, indispensable, klansman, magical, monster, planet, progress, revenge, sagebrush, scientific, something, sunday, treasure, weirdos books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
