It's a Magical World by Bill Watterson
5.0
Being the best of Calvin and Hobbes is no easy feat.
This is probably the best book in the entirety of the 20th century.
How do you become the peak of a series that’s already peak? Calvin and Hobbes shows its consistent greatness with all the early-installment weirdness thrown out and replaced with pure quality. That would already make me love it, but of course, the final strip is everything.
You all know it. The titular one. The best work of art in history. It completely captures all the essence of Calvin and Hobbes and sends it off, and it’s done in such a gratifying and emotional way that I’m actually happy it ended. I truly have to recommend Calvin and Hobbes to everyone, even if it’s just for that final strip in the end.
