Summary: A Boy and His Tiger
Review: "Yukon Ho!" is a collection of daily and Sunday "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strips. Since the dates have not been left in the strips, it is difficult to determine the time frame involved. But that doesn't really matter, because this strip is as fresh and funny today, years after Bill Watterson ended the strip, as it was back in the day.If you have never heard of Calvin and his adventures with his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, pick this book up today and become hooked with the rest of us.

Summary: The best comic strip of the 90s. Period.
Review: Actually my one line summary pretty much sums up my feelings. I've never seen a strip that captures its balanced elements of innocence and subversiveness as well as Watterson does. All his collections are great but this was the first i read so it remains my favourite.

Summary: A great comic book!
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: Terribly funny social commentary from a six year old
Review: Calvin & Hobbes....I'll mis 'em...however, during their era, no other strip proved as funny, intelligent, and downright touching. Yes, me, said touching. While Yukon Ho! isn't the best of the strip, it will fit in nicely with ANYONE's comic strip collection. Buy it. Or Hobbes'll eat you.

Summary: One of the More Popular Books
Review: First, and foremost, it must be known: All Calvin and Hobbes are great. Yukon Ho!, however, is one that tends to rise above the rest. It's true this is one of the earlier books and includes the 9 verse tune The Yukon Song and has all the great cartoons, but why it seems to be more popular, I cannot say. All I know and can guarantee is that it's funny and is everything Calvin and Hobbes. From the beginning of the book where Calvin is convinced that he and Hobbes have traveled into the future (nope not with a cardboard box) it is too easy to appreaciate Calvin's motives. He's not after the secrets of genetic cloning or the what politician is waging wars with other countries. He's looking forward to floating cities and telling people in the present what he saw. And this is the real beauty of Calvin and Hobbes shows through. It's the quest of a six-year-old to have a good time with a furry friend. Rarely in a comic strip has such devotion and integrity of a kid been so accurately portrayed. You'll chuckle at Calvin's dad 's explanation of the workings of a carburetor and the hilarious camping trip to a desolate rock that Calvin's entire family embarks on. Rosalyn appears again, and yes, again terrorizes Calvin. Calvin digs up dirt on his dad,which compromises his father's high-ranking position of dad. Calvin tries and fails to be the next Houdini and Susie and Calvin are assigned an a project together. All the way to the new and improved transmogrifier, it's pure magic, purely Calvin and Hobbes.

Summary: These guys are always a blast.
Review: Granted this collection of Calvin and Hobbes isn't quite as funny as some of the other collections. Still, it is Calvin and Hobbes and there haven't been very many comics as amusing, funny, and entertaining in the past thirty years as Calvin and Hobbes. Some of the adventures in this collection include Calvin & Hobbes riding the hall rug as a magic carpet; Calvin's trip to the doctor; a family camping trip; seceding from the family and deciding to move to the Yukon (that's where the title comes from); a visit from Uncle Max; and fun with a transmorgifier gun. As usual, there is plenty of humor on several different levels and lots of social commentary.
