Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-13 00:00:00 Hans Joachim Ulbrich This is another masterpiece from Sir Bill Watterson. I always wonder how Calvin can think of such insanely intense stuffs sometimes. Or Bill wanted him to think that way... I can't say! If I compare my childhood with Calvin's, I think I had an awfully boring childhood accepting what I was told, doing what I was asked, and asking what was expected of me. Calvin does none of that… for which he had his own ways, ways which are peculiarly interesting and amusing. You might even call them idiosyncratic or individualistic! Well, You may not be always correct! He might be goofy, sometimes. What do you expect? He is a six-year old, after all! Sometimes, all the psychobabble Calvin utters, when he complains of the society for killing the creativity in the name of mass production or school education, might seem way too matured for a child of his age, but not always can they be ignored. You are never too old to read this amazing comic of all ages! Grab this coffee-table comic and a coffee mug… Way to kick off the morning blues! Warning: It might leave you pondering or mulling over something for a whole day. Disclaimer: I don't claim any right to any of the above images. All belongs to Sir Bill Watterson.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-21 00:00:00 Jay Posada This Calvin & Hobbes collection has more emphasis on overarching questions than the others: a) is delayed gratification better than instant gratification? b) Should we let the perfect become the enemy of the good? c) How many close calls do you need before you change your behavior? Calvin being Calvin, the answers are a) no, b) yes, and c) all of them. Watterson respects his audience, even the youngest among them, to grasp the message even if the protagonist can't (or won't). This volume also showcases Watterson's critiques of public schools at their most scathing. Calvin's dad has some hilarious yet insightful complaints about the crassness of the modern world. And Susie remains Calvin's perfect foil. I aspire to have her calm and pleasant attitude in the face of relentless insanity.
