Great READ April 12, 2007
Guillermo Flores (Guatemala, Guatemala)
Bill Watterson is a genious. There's no other way to put it. Calvin and Hobbes is one of the Great Comic Strips of our times and this collected edition is an incredible read. Highest possible recommendation.

Calvin and the Snowmen September 7, 2006

Every "Calvin and Hobbes" book contains wonderful insight into our society, children, and parents in general. Bill Watterson has an excellent way of looking at us from a slightly twisted child's point of view, but a child who has to be a genius or near-genius.
This collection contains some of the best winter strips that Watterson ever created. The images of a snow man worshipping Calvin are funny, especially in the last portion of the strip. In another strip Calvin has created a group of small snow men, and has taken another one to the roof as a potential suicide. While this strip sounds very twisted, it's also humorous. Another winter strip sums up the parents feelings as they note that Calvin's activities have led to the neighbors planting really big trees along the boundaries of their property.
Hobbes is an integral part of Calvin's life, ranging from insulting to supporting to poignant. One of the best poignant strips is when Hobbes takes Calvin out to the school bus while it's raining, carrying an umbrella for him. Soon Calvin's parents look out the window to see Hobbes as a stuffed animal with an umbrella tucked under one arm. Calvin's father goes out to retrieve Hobbes and then we see another image of Calvin sitting in school staring at the clock, clearly worrying about Hobbes in the rain.
There are quite a few collections of "Calvin and Hobbes." Of the eight or nine collections that I have I have found every one to be a worthy addition to my library and hope to eventually have them all. Of the "Calvin and Hobbes" collections I have this one is one of the best.
Enjoy!
