Description

Beginning with the day Hobbes sprang into Calvin's tuna fish trap, the first two Calvin and Hobbes collections, Calvin and Hobbes and Something Under The Bed Is Drooling, are brought together in this treasury. Including black-and-white dailies and color Sundays, The Essential Calvin and Hobbes also features an original full-color 16-page story.Perhaps the most brilliant comic strip ever created, Calvin and Hobbes continues to entertain with dazzling cartooning and tremendous humor. Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.

Booklist Review

Fans of the snappy new comic strip about a boy and his tiger will both welcome and decry the new collection of their adventures. Welcome because all the Sunday installments appear in full color, and because Watterson starts off the book with an eight-page ``Nauseous Nocturne,'' in verse and color-comic-book layout, on one of C&H's favorite themes-- things that go bump in the night. Decry, because, except for that starter, the contents are exactly those of Calvin and Hobbes (Andrews and McMeel, 1987) and Something under the Bed Is Drooling [BKL Je 15 88]. So, no new strips here, but if library use mirrors the C&H books' chart-topping trade- paperback bestsellerdom, that's no disincentive to purchase. In fact, multiple copies are probably downright necessary. RO.
