Summary: Will the most precocious child please step foward?
Review: "Indespensable" is rendered rhetorical when it comes to Calvin and Hobbes, but a collection such as this should be required reading for, well, everyone. Calvin is the child we all were and continues to be the child we wish could still be. Of course any child who regularly uses words like "malpractice insurance" and "besmirching" asks you to suspend disbelief, but these phrases come from the same young boy possessing an unbelievably hyperactive imagination and a penchant for walking around the house in his birthday suit. And Hobbes, Calvin's best friend (who just happens to be a stuffed tiger - or is he alive?) represents everything we so crave and desire. Someone who will listen to you and give you unconditional love (not to mention a furry belly to lie on). Calvin's musings on life, school, and parents are nothing short of sophisticated philosophy. Take this book with your family and read it aloud for all to hear. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll imagine you're a tyrannosaurus rex. Indispensable.

Summary: Bill Watterson is #1!
Review: As a collecter of Calvin and Hobbes books, I would have to say this one stands out in my collection. Laughs, entertainment, and fun is all what the six-year-old nightmare and his furry friend equal!

Summary: Great 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: Indispensable indeed!
Review: But how can you single this one out to be indispensable when ALL Calvin and Hobbes books are must haves/keeps forever? In this book you'll find all the usual Spaceman Spiff adventures as he flys through desert canyons on remote menacing planets, loads of Stupendous Man hijinks and endless laughs as Calvin never ceases to terrorize and menace everyone around him. But there is not enough of Hobbes. Even if Hobbes was in every panel on every page there still wouldn't be enough of him. I absolutely LOVE Hobbes. I want him. He IS the greatest.

Summary: Calvin and Hobbes capture the essence of childhood.
Review: Calvin and Hobbes are capturing the hearts of grownups and children alike. My family loves Calvin and Hobbes. My little brother has all of his books and I love to spend a rainy day inside reading them. They remind me so much of my childhood. Calvin and Hobbes relate so well to each other, it is like being with my childhood best friend all over again.

Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: Calvin and Hobbes is right up there on my list of the best comics. In fact, I'd say it was the best comic made. And this treasury is the best of the best. It has everything you could want. This is watterson at his peak. Laughs keep coming one after the other, intertwined with some very serious philosophical musings from Calvin and Hobbes. Why be sad when you could have these comics? One of my personal favorites.

Summary: THE BEST
Review: Calvin nas Hobbes is DEFINITELY the best of all comics i have read so far. All the stroies are great! You wont find even one which is boring, while some are simply all-time Classics. 'The Indespensable Calvin and Hobbes' certainly lives up to its name, featuring some of Bil Wattersons best works about a 6-year old hyperactive Calvin, and his 'Imaginary' stuffed tiger, Hobbes. Definitely a MUST BUY ( if u dont have it already). A book for all ages. I only wish i was able to give it MORE than 5 Stars!!!

Summary: Required reading!
Review: Despite my worst mood's efforts, this book never fails to deliver an uncontrollable laugh. Always the social commentator cleverly disguised as a small blond rebel and his tiger, Watterson continues to poke fun at our "grown-up" world. No one should consider themselves a fan unless this book is dog-eared, spine-less and dust-less on their bookshelf.
