Review # 1 was written on 2016-07-14 00:00:00 James Culverhouse Reading a Calvin and Hobbes book can make one's day. Comic strips are not only for fun but they have to tell the whole world in a nutshell about everything they want to. The wonderful and creative cartoonist does it coolly as always. The tenth anniversary book is a collection of all the great comic strips in Calvin and Hobbes with some introduction to every one of them. It was interesting to know how and when the author got the idea and what triggered him to produce such fantastic work. Reading other books in Calvin and Hobbes series, I forget that it's fiction, that it's written by some human being who lives and enjoys his life on the planet Earth! I mean seriously, the kid is so much fun! His tiger is so much fun! The parents are always tensed and feel a lot of guilt of having a child like him. He's the kind of kid who gets on his parents nerves every time. Rosalyn is so pissed off and always wants an advance when she has to babysit Calvin. Susie, ah, the nice little studious and perfect girl, has to go on bearing many Calvin activities. No matter how naughty and dangerously funny Calvin is, he has a little cute heart. The raccoon incident tells it all. He's so scared of the monsters under his bed and of course (drum roll please) Rosalyn! When he's thinking of people around him being monsters, dinosaurs, earthworms, he looks like a genius which he is by the way. When he cares for the nature and tries to question the education system, his growing up in it, his dad's polls, the bedtime stories, his awesomeness is evident. Blessed be the person who introduced this work to me.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-28 00:00:00 Matt Brennan Calvin and Hobbes first appeared in 1985. This book is the tenth anniversary edition, where Bill Watterson shares his thoughts on cartooning, his struggles, and the ones who have inspired him. The reader gets a glimpse into the creative process, and some background information about the characters. Watterson also shares some of his favorite black and white strips. A great collection!
