Summary: Calvin And Hobbes rule
Review: This Calvin and Hobbes book was the only one I read so far. It was excellent. I like the comic strips that star Spaceman Spiff the best. Anyone who doesn't have this book. HAS TO GET IT.

Summary: The Best Collection!!!!!
Review: This is one cool book. It was my first C&H book ever. This has the two best "small" C&H books. Another cool thing about this book is that it colorizes all the comics that ran in the Sunday paper. The reason I didn't give it a higher rating was that it is not to the high standard of his new ones. I think that Weirdos From Another Planet is awesome but not as good as Yukon Ho!. If you have all the new ones (The Days are Just Packed and on) then buy this one for nostalgic purposes

Review: Unfortunately, I say it rather cynically.

My, there are so many monsters peopling this strip. The kid's a monster. His parents are monsters. The tiger's a monster. The teacher's a monster. The babysitter's a monster. And the only character who's not a monster (and more of a victim) is naturally enough, a young girl who is never bad or gets into any trouble. And the strip, while a rugrat's fantasyland, also smacks of extreme adolescent rebellion.

The strip is so overrated even after its demise a decade ago that it's been ensured that no cartoonist alive or yet to be born would ever create a strip as well-worshipped as it is for all eternity to come. So why not just remove the whole comic section from the news for good?

Summary: Yukon Ho Ho Ho, as Santa would say.
Review: Very amusing but not as good as the others, Calvin is a very interesting child with a lot to look up to when he is older. He has instinks but he never follows them. Hobbs however, I never understood, he's a stuffed animal who has the brains in the outfit. They both go through many adventures together, and one or the other always spoil it. It is a fun and entertaning comic about a boy and his imaginary tiger, Hobbes, who happens to be a stuffed toy.

Summary: Another anthology of laughter
Review: Whether the collection is the "Indispensible" or "Essential" or "Quintessential" Calvin and Hobbes, it doesn't really matter. Watching this hyperactive, hyperimaginative child and his willing though wise accomplice, Hobbes, take on evil babysitters, Susie Derkins, the class bully and all creatures (real or imaginary), is a pleasure and laughter without stop. "The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes" is another in a long list of the great comic work of Bill Watterson. This is an indispensible/essential/quintessential collection for all Calvin and Hobbes and humor fans!
