Summary: Help us understand life better
Review: I met Calvin and Hobbes not long ago. But I fall in love with him since then. He really help us to see life from a different sides. He taught us how to laugh at even an ironic thing. But through this book, I know not only Calvin'n point of view, but also his best friend, Mr. Watterson. I respect his opinion about licensing and his closeness to Calvin and Hobbes. Reading this book, I begin to understand Calvin and Hobbes better than before.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A bitter pill
Review: I am a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes. But as a fan, I can't help but warn other fans away from this book. Bill Watterson comes off as rather bitter and, incomprehensibly, rather humorless. Not that his strips aren't hilarious. But his commentary fails to display any lightness of spirit.

For instance, remember the classic strip that ends with calvin saying "verbing weirds language"? Well, Watterson's commentary reveals him to be a language snob. Similarly, his strips that criticize the art world reveals that he thinks of many in the artworld as "blowhards". In every case, he seems to have no sense of humor about his own opinion.

And even when his writing isn't bitter, it isn't terribly enlightening either. His strips speak for him better than his commentary does.

To see what a book like this can be, read Gary Larson's "Prehistory of the Far Side." While I think that Watterson is (arguably) the better cartoonist, Larson's retrospective, is funny, joyous and insightful. Something that Watterson sadly misses out on. The comics contained herein are, of course, as grand as usual. But there are other Watterson books that are better sources for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent! A Must for Every Calvin & Hobbes Fans!
Review: The first of the Calvin & Hobbes book, this set the other Calvin & Hobbes books. Although the drawings are different from the recent books, but it's still the classic that brought the laughter most

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, enlightening look back at a Comic Duo
Review: This a fun trip down memory line for devoted Calvin and Hobbes fans. The cartoons are as fresh and funny as they were the first time and Bill Watterson's commentaries add a new perspective. His essays on his motivations and descriptions of how he developed and how he sees his characters offer an insight into how this cartoonist thinks, and add some more meat to these already well developed figures. And if you've never heard of Calvin and Hobbes before - this is a brilliant introduction

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for every fan!
Review: A must for every fan! The answers come rolling in while you read the book celebrating 10 years of entertaining millions. Find answers to questions such as: "Why can't I find a Calvin and Hobbes Calendar or coffee mug?" Read how each strip is made and a comprehensive description of the characters and their origins all in the words of the genius himself, Bill Watterson. Plus read about his own personal influences and favorite C&H strips. A must for every fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The first collection of the world's most popular comic strip
Review: This is the start of what eventually became an icon of humor in the world of the comic strip. In this self titled work, the characters literally come alive as they each display their own way of making you laugh. A definite must for anyone willing to look at the odd, scary, yet hilarious world of a boy and his vivid imaginatio

Rating: 5 stars
