Amazon.com Review
Few writers--and even fewer cartoonists--have captured the imagination of childhood more effectively than Watterson in his many
Calvin and Hobbes cartoons--and apart from his Tenth Anniversary Book, this is probably my favorite
Calvin and Hobbes collection.

Those who have passed the yard line of adulthood can only experience childhood vicariously. There's no going back. But a direct experience of that era would likely leave most feeling retrograde, disoriented and possibly vapid. Better to re-experience childhood as an adult knowing what we know now. Even better to revisit those years through an omniscient perspective encompassing both the child's and the adult's worldviews. "Calvin and Hobbes" allows this bizarre but always enjoyable experience via the medium of comics. We get everything with a mere scanning of the eyes: childhood without bed wetting, groundings and school, flights of unimaginable imagination in direct defiance of the adult world, the fun of being a kid with a sometimes deep, penetrating mind and an alternate reality where soft toys become inseparable and hyperreal companions. "Calvin and Hobbes" builds directly on the brilliant surrealism of "Peanuts" by allowing the fuzzy animal character a total conscious life, but only from the child's perspective and only within the child's even horizon which lies parallel to the "real" adult world. Everyone experienced Snoopy, but his thoughts remained his own, except to certain other animals. In contrast, Hobbes' world remains completely within the confines of Calvin's mental and physical peregrinations, but Hobbes exists completely in an outpouring of phantasmagorical anthropomorphism. Others only experience him as a limp and lifeless stuffed tiger. But he exists in parallel worlds and in one of them he has claws. The juxtaposition of these two impossible, but nonetheless plausible, worlds - even Calvin's world seems strangely familiar - creates a mystique unmatched by the vast majority of comic strips.
