Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as always
Review: I love reading Bill Waterson's cartoons. The stories, the colors, the amazing faces Calvin makes: all make for laughter and enjoyment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JUST TOO FUNNY!
Review: I really enjoyed Scientific Progress Goes Boink mainly because it featured strips that were new and exciting, and it repeated strips I really loved.

If you are a Calvin and Hobbes fan, or you just want a great laugh, read Scientific Progress Goes Boink

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scientific Progress goes boink.
Review: I really like the book. My favorite parts are when Calvin locks Rosalyn ( the baby sitter ) out and when he puts on his Stupendous Man costume,pounces on her and hides in his treehouse. I also like the Spaceman Spiff,Tracer Bullet,and Stupendous Man adventures.They are all really Calvin. I also like the part where Calvin and Hobbes make duplicates of Calvin and then transmogrify them into worms and travel to the dinosaurs. I also like the G.R.O.S.S. club (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS ) meetings . This is why I like this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Calvin and Hobbes are at it again!
Review: I thought Calvin and Hobbes Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink' was one of the best Calvin and hobbes that I have ever read. It was very funny and there were also lots of story lines. I recommend that you read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The absolute best
Review: I've read almost every C & H book not discounting the fact that I read the strip regularly while it was syndicated. Brilliant, funny, touching and many times loving. In addition, my son learned to read starting at the age of 6 thru C & H. Now that he's 10 he still rereads the books. He's getting a little old to act out Calvin's antics, but he continues to appreciate them as I do. . . Thanks, Bill.

Summary: HA HA HAA ! HILARIUOS !
Review: if u liked the simsons,and if your a comic lover, or just love comedy, this is a wonderful book ! i love it because it is so FUNNY!! i fell in love w/ these series, i buy as many as i can. this is a good book for you to start to fall in love with C&H. Other good C&H books are Werdeos from another planet, and its a magical world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just Too Much Fun
Review: Lest anyone feel weary about buying a kid's comic book: don't! Bill Watterson writes for an intelligent audience and even though Calvin is six year old boy he often says things that are clearly the work of an adult.

Calvin is determinedly and hillariously anti-authoritarian. Bill Waterson got into some trouble once for drawing a cartoon where Calvin fantasized about blowing up his school with an F-16 and heat seeking missles. I agree with Waterson that this just goes to show that some people were never kids.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keep on "Boink"-ing
Review: The title of this book refers to the classic sequence of strips in which Calvin first uses his (cardboard box) duplicator to make a copy of himself that he hopes will do all the unpleasant things he has to do (like go to school). However, because the duplicate IS Calvin, he has his own ideas. This is another classic collection in the Calvin and Hobbes series. Bill Watterson is a comic genius whose presence in the funny pages has been sorely missed since his retirement.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Raving Lunatic -- a review by Xander, age 9
Review: There is one thing about any Calvin and Hobbes book, they are always funny. They are funnier if you have children. This edition has several classic sequences. In one series Calvin duplicates himself, and mayhem ensues, all blamed, of course, on the duplicates. Naturally Calvin has a unique way of getting out of trouble. Calvin also has a rather entertaining time with his babysitter, who seems forever doomed to being outwitted by Calvin, even if she always wins in the end (and Calvin's parents always lose as they have to bribe her to come back).

Of course there are always the ever-interesting Spaceman Spiff strips, usually involving either Calvin's teacher or his mother. Calvin also appears in a number of strips as a carnivorous dinosaur, the Calvinosaurus. As with any Calvin and Hobbes book, there are the inevitable interactions with Hobbes that extend from fighting and arguing to tender solitary moments.

Because Calvin and Hobbes is a unique series it is difficult to compare to other series or books. All the books I have are all generally of equal quality in terms of the stories. I have a slight preference for the treasury books with their color strips, but Calvin and Hobbes are funny in color or black and white. If you need a good laugh, you'll likely find it here.
