BRILLIANT. i am so glad i made the decision to read the compilation of this great comic strip because everything make so much sense now and almost every panel had me laughing out loud. the jokes landed so good i found myself bookmarking almost every page to reread.

pure serotonin wrapped up in a “children’s book” meant for adults.

10/10 would recommend and onto the next volume!!!

Before I left for my year-long adventure to London, my boyfriend and I exchanged our favorite books with each other, in the hopes that we would both read them while I was gone, and it would remind us of the other person.
I gave him The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
He gave me this one.
And I loved it. So much. I see so much of him within the comics and I see where he gets his imagination and wonder from. He's always loved Calvin and Hobbes and I totally see why. They're fun. They remind me of being a kid again and having endless summers and afternoons where I would play and play and hate doing homework and eating peas at dinnertime.
As an adult though, I also find the panels with the parents hilarious. They're so real and I see their struggles with raising an over-imaginative six-year-old (even though I'm nowhere near that stage myself).
Calvin and Hobbes comics are more than fun. They show you what life is about; living, learning, and laughing. And I loved every second of it.

Some books/comics will last me a life time. They have stories and scenes that I can go back to constantly. I will always find Calvin and Hobbes incredibly funny, original and imaginative.
