Summary: We shall not see the like again
Review: At some point back in the eighties, one could turn to the comics pages and partake of Bloom County, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes, all at the same time. Those were the days. Calvin and Hobbes is simply one of the all-time great comic strips. From a simple premise - a young kid with a stuffed tiger that comes alive only for him - comes an extraordinary variety of humor, as well as commentary on the human condition. From slapstick comedy as Calvin terrorizes his babysitter to pathos as he suffers through another miserable day at school, it touches all the notes. Calvin and Hobbes even philosophize, usually as they're preparing to destroy themselves on a downhill sled run. And I haven't even mentioned Calvin's turns of fantasy with such characters as Spaceman Spiff and Stupendous Man. What can you say? There's never been anything like Calvin and Hobbes, and there probably never will be again.

Summary: Insightful looks at classic sunday strips
Review: Calvin & Hobbes was much more than a really good newspaper comic strip. Created by Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes will be hailed among the greatest ever created, right alongside Peanuts and Krazy Kat for its creativity, scope of influence and the enjoyment it offered the reader. It was a strip capable of being all things gleeful and all things sad, all things goofy and all things serious. Bill Watterson's genius cannot be overstated. He was a master of the comic form. He somehow managed to be funny, clever, touching, insightful, warm, cynical, uplifting, devious, nostalgic, and mischievous, all in the space of a little three- or four-panel comic strip. And his Sunday strips? A feast. His use of space and color, especially in the strip's later years, was masterful. He knew how to work a page like no other. In this collection, some of the best Sunday strips are collected in glorious color. Each is amended with footnotes and annotations by the creator himself, along with early pre-newspaper versions of the strips. While many of these can be found elsewhere, this collection is a nice look back at some favorites, made even better by the insight and observations of the man who drew them. Even those intimately familiar with these cartoons will learn something new about the craft of comic creation through his annotations. Each comic strip is a story - and for longtime Calvin & Hobbes readers, a memory. That final strip, with its clean slate of white snow into which Calvin and Hobbes disappear, talking of discovery and exploring ... just fantastic. If you're a fan of Watterson's work and Calvin & Hobbes, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.
