Summary: THE GREATEST STRIP EVER!
Review: Indispensible? You bet your &%$# it is. Calvin and Hobbes continues to be the greatest comic strip ever, even several years now after creator Bill Watterson retired. Like Barry Sanders, Watterson retired at the top of his game, leaving fans longing for more but leaving a body of work that will be cherished for decades to come.
I've now been able to share with my children the joy of reading this fantastic strip. Calvin & Hobbes bizzare adventures as seen through the mind of a six year old little boy with the sardonic wisdom of an old man. Even after owning over a dozen collections I still look forward to each and every one.

Summary: Another great Calvin and Hobbes treasury...
Review: It's another great Calvin and Hobbes treasury which includes cartoons from "The revenge of the baby-sat" and "Scientific progress goes boink". You'll love this book of cartoons which includes some of Bill Watterson's best voted strips like the comic strips "tiger food" and "Eenie Meenie..."! The things I love most of Watterson's comics are the jokes, sarcasm, character expressions, colourful drawings, and great backgrounds. In this book you'll be able to read lots of club strips, Rosalyn stories, and family trips to places like the museam! You'll also be able to read lots of Spaceman Spiff and dinosaur strips. This book would appeal to people of all ages from perhaps the age of eight to adult. ------------------Ahmed Mashhood age 12-----------

Summary: A Comic Strip for the Ages
Review: Like Walt Kelly before him, Bill Watterson took the art of the comic strip to a place it had never been before. Like Kelly, Watterson wrote and drew in a style that was remarkably sophisticated and subtle despite its deceptive veneer of child-like simplicity; however, while Pogo and his anthropomorphic pals were at their best taking a sharp satirical look at American political concerns of the day, Calvin and Hobbes addressed issues of human nature that transcend considerations of time and place. Calvin and his faithful tiger inhabit an anarchic universe of their own imagining in which nothing is ever easy. Calvin's mind is simultaneously too simple and too complex to cope in a conventional way with everyday reality. In some ways, he's a more innocent incarnation of Bart Simpson; however, unlike Bart, who knows better than to believe a word that the knuckleheaded Homer says, Calvin eagerly embraces and puzzles over every cockamamie story his father tells him. Calvin is a child in child's clothing, which is to say that he's both hopelessly naive and infinitely wise. For all his bravado and grandiose scheming, Calvin is constantly being bested by his parents, his teacher, the babysitter, the school bully, the girl next door, and the stuffed tiger who serves as his alter ego. When Calvin transforms a cardboard box into a duplicating machine, he's even victimized by multiple copies of his own ego-driven self! And yet, however much Calvin suffers, his spirit is never broken--or at least not for long. Knock him down, and he gets right up again with a brand new plan to undermine the forces he can never ultimately defeat. Calvin is the kid in all of us who never wins but never stops fighting the good fight....And besides all that, these strips are funny as all get-out!

Summary: Watterson takes you back to childhood with Calvin and Hobbes
Review: Many of us look fondly upon our childhood and sometimes wish we were kids again. Bill Watterson brings childhood back to us with the adventures of Calvin, a six-year-old, precocious child, and his best friend Hobbes, a stuffed tiger made real by Calvin's vivid imagination. In this treasury, featuring comics from two of Watterson's collections, Calvin uses his wild fantasies to escape the dull life of school and "character-building" trips he's forced to take with his father. Calvin dreams of things most of us once dreamed -- becoming an inventor, battling baddies throughout the galaxy and being a superhero. Even though Calvin and Hobbes brawl on more than one occasion, their friendship remains the strongest bond and greatest influence in Calvin's life. Calvin's relationship with his stuffed tiger reminds us of our favorite imaginary playmates. This is what's best about Watterson's work -- he has the ability to draw us in using childhood ideas most of us had ourselves. As usual, Watterson does an incredible job helping us remember the innocence and imaginations of childhood. His comics are hilarious, yet more often than not touch on strong points that affect the grown-up world today. He manages to put his point across is the most humorous ways, while not losing touch with the simplistic, no-nonsense thinking of a six-year-old's mind. This treasury includes some of his best comics. I especially enjoyed the adventures of the Intrepid Spaceman Spiff and Calvin's wild attempts to escape his babysitter.
This book is worth every penny, and it is a great one to come back to again and again.

Summary: Lessons Of Life
Review: Not only is book appealing to all audiences, but it also teaches lessons that kids need to learn. Like how to lose, what real friends are like, and that bad things happen to the best of us. I wish there were more books like these....

Summary: The Secret to Eternal Youth: Calvin and Hobbes.
Review: On December 31, 1995, Time severed another strand linking our real world to the magical worlds of our youth. In creator Bill Watterson's final comic, Calvin and Hobbes parted with our hearts on a high note as the eternally youthful 6-year-old and his loyal sidekick tiger sled over the fresh morning snow, expressing the poignant optimism that made this comic one of the most beloved comic strips in history. Buy Watterson's "The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes : A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury." The world of a child's imagination is awakened on every page. Reading the vibrantly-colored strips, one cannot help but believe that, at some long forgotten time and place, we were all like Calvin: ever optimistic, always believing, constantly exploring the fresh world around us. We miss those days. We need them back. This book allows Calvin and Hobbes to come back to life and reawaken the memories of your youth. For most of us there remain too few strands linking our remaining todays to our yesterdays. But there is a way to suspend time and step back. Relive the imaginative days of your youth through the pranks, discoveries and character-building lessons of a 6-year-old boy and his tiger.

Summary: Watterson at his best!
Review: Once again the hero of Sunday comics makes yet another book filled with laughter in every page. I've read every ''Calvin and Hobbes" except for "Yukon Ho!" and "Attack of the Snow Goons" and I think this is the funniest one. The laughter will not stop. And in the begining of the book, Watterson puts together Calvin and Hobbes Poetry with subjects that appear in Calvin's comic strip life. It has strips with all of everyone's favorite characters such Susie Derkins, Moe, and Rosalyn. If you want a book with non-stop laughter and one that you can read over and over, this is truly the one.
