Calvin and Hobbes collections are always worth rereading. There seems to be something new to gain each time. Whether it's a deeper pondering of Calvin's philosophical soliloquies, a recognition of the underlying tenderness, or an enriched appreciation for Watterson's art, I always take away something new. Calvin and Hobbes is more than a comic strip, it's a thoroughly human, and always hilarious, literary adventure.

This would easily be a 10/10 five-star rating if the Sunday strips were in color, but I think the only place the ones in this book have been reprinted in color is The Complete Calvin and Hobbes box set.

The adventures of Calvin and his pal Hobbes are always amazingly hilarious, especially when you return to their world after being gone for years.

Yet another timeless Calvin and Hobbes treasury. This is my favorite cartoon/comic, and I love it. It is hilarious, creative, insightful, and appropriate for kids and amusing for adults. One would be missing out to not read at least one collection.

A bit of a mixed bag. I'm never a fan of Calvin being bratty and he's almost always being bratty. And Spaceman Spiff puts me to sleep. So mostly I like it when we see Calvin as a stuffed animal. Or anyone else is doing the talking. Or when Calvin is doing something visibly imaginative like making awesome creepy snow creatures. This volume didn't quite have the balance I was looking for, but a lot of it was good. 3.5 of 5.
