Summary: A must-read!
Review: Bill Waterson is argudably one of the best comic writers out there. Even through his retirement, he has made great books of past comics featuring his Calvin and Hobbes characters. I laugh and laugh at these comics he creates and I sometimes wonder how he comes up with such brilliant ideas sometimes with the storylines of some of the strips.Calvin, one of his best known characters, is the trouble-making kid in the school. He is funny and imaginative and likes to make funa and games with his "real" pet friend Hobbes. Through the comics, you can see the relationship between a stuffed animal and a human. In this comic though, Hobbes "comes to life" in Calvins eyes. The things that Calvin can sometimes get involved in is so hilarious and sometimes out of this world. I guarantee that anyone that loves comics will fall in love with this one and should definitely buy this book to start their collection of classic comics. All of Bill Waterson's comic books are very well done and very professional. His work is his life and it shows the time and consideration it took to make these characters come to life. Thank you Mr. Waterson for creating such a great comic and thatnk you people for reading my review!

Summary: Actually, it deserves more stars, as do all the books.
Review: Bill Watterson is a genius. I cried like a little girl when he retired. This book is rad. Anybody who says other-wise will have to deal with me. Although this is not the best book, it still deserves more stars than four, or even five.

Summary: Great for a rainy day
Review: Calvin and Hobbes are certainly funny, no doubt about that. When Calvin isn't getting in fights with his good old stuffed tiger, he's making up wild scenes in his head to correspond with whatever domestic indignity is being foisted upon his six-year-old sensibilities. Still. Some of the cartoons get a bit repetitious and I found myself skipping through to the endings for the punch line, since I already had a good idea what the middle was all about. True, each page contains only one comic, which allows time for story development, but when you've already read the same story five times, it gets old. If you're snowed in with the kids (or stuck volunteering in a library, like me), the Lazy Sunday book will help to pass the time.

Summary: I miss these guys so much
Review: Calvin and Hobbes was by far one of the most creative comic strips of the 80s and 90s--right up there with Bloom County and The Far Side. As a matter of fact reading this brilliant trio was a daily ritual for me. But there was a perverse sweetness (I can't explain what that means) to Calvin and Hobbes that the others lacked. This collection, THE LAZY SUNDAY BOOK, features many of the best. Each time a look through it, I laugh out loud like an idiot. The overall effect, however, is nostalgia. There's nothing as good out there now, and I miss my trinity of comic geniuses, but Calvin and Hobbes the most!

Summary: A fabulous book full of vibrant comical genious!
Review: Every strip is in full vibrant color. (a sort of water-color look) Calvin and Hobbes find many great adventures here. From Spaceman Spiff to throwing slush-balls, one part ice, one part hard packed snow, at Susie. Calvin is the source of all of Hobbes' jokes, and vice-versa. It is a book to settle down with by the fireplace. (or a dim lit room) You'll laugh, and you'll wonder what you would have ever done without having the experiences of these two loveable characters in your life.

Summary: Sit, Relax, and Enjoy
Review: For those of you who have never met Calvin and Hobbes, let me help bring you up to speed. Calvin is a 6-year old kid whose best friend is his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. At least, the tiger is stuffed when anyone is around. When it is only Calvin around, Hobbes comes to life and gets into all kinds of mischief with Calvin. "The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book" is a collection of the Sunday Calvin and Hobbes comic strips from the late 1980s. You can enjoy watching Calvin hit Susie with the perfect slushball, Calvin daydreaming about the Nagoon Mothership, or Hobbes sneaking up to suprise attack Calvin. For anyone who grew up reading the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, this book is perfect for sitting back, relaxking, and enjoying a nostalgia look at our favorite kid and his stuffed tiger.

Summary: A Collection of Sunday Calvin and Hobbes Cartoons
Review: I grew up on Calvin and Hobbes, so I'm a little biased when I say they're one of the best--if not *the* best--cartoon ever to be printed. It's such a pity that they're gone, though books like this one will give fans like me an opportunity to make believe that they're not. "The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book" opens with Calvin's 10-page adventure as Spaceman Spiff, interplanetary explorer extraordinaire, with one mission in mind: to destroy all aliens, which in real life, are disguised as his mother and Susie. Very funny stuff. Yet Calvin's wild imagination doesn't stop there. For the rest of the colorful 100+ pages, he agitates his parents mercilessly, particularly his father; while with his mother, he aversely chokes down every disgusting meal she cooks, making some of the funniest faces while doing so. A lot of times, his expressions say more than any number of words. Take the family meal scene on page 30, where he makes a long-drawn-out attempt at tasting the green pile of gunk on his plate. Then there's a good facial example on page 104, where he's sitting, reading a book; then looks up with this absolutely wicked smile on his face. You can only imagine what he's up to--and it's definitely not safe. Then come the metamorphosis strips where Calvin pretends to be every imaginable type of creature, from a loudmouthed sparrow to a hungry dinosaur to a human slinky and beyond. And, of course, there's always a worthy battle or two with monsters and bedbugs in, around, and under his bed--all in the faithful company of his favorite toy tiger, Hobbes. Two of my favorites in this book involve snowmen. Yep, you guessed it: the one where Calvin creates a morbid snowman display on his parent's car--one of them appears to have been hit by the car, while the other three snowmen gawk at the maimed body (p 53). The other is where he makes a dozen or so little snowmen and then devours them all in a dinosaur frenzy (p 101). No matter how times I've read this book, I can re-read it again and again, and still find something new and amusing about it. Even if you're vaguely familiar with Calvin and Hobbes, I highly recommend purchasing this book. It's a riot.
