Pros: Wonderful insight into the origins and inspirations of Calvin and Hobbes. Cons: I would have liked 500 pages instead of 200.
Remember “Calvin and Hobbes?” Along with “Bloom County,” “The Far Side,” “Peanuts,” and “The Norm,” this is one of my favorite comic strips of all time. It had been a while since I had read any of my Calvin books, and when some friends recommended that ...
I miss the old days. Hell, I'm still basically living the old days, but I miss them nonetheless. I just arrived at college, and have found myself surrounded by people with agendas. They picked their major when they learned how to walk, and they are...
Pros: It's Calvin and Hobbes! What more do you want? Cons: It's not long enough!
A friend recently sent me a copy of the book Calvin and Hobbes. The book is a collection of cartoons by Bill Watterson. They are drawn from his syndicated cartoon strip "Calvin and Hobbes."
Calvin is a precocious, irreverant, hyperactive,...
The fanaticism of fandom knows no reason or logic beyond its own circumvoluted jiggery-pokery that can make a straight line out of one more crooked than the average KKK Grand Wizard or even a normal fad diet ad.
Pros: Very funny, sardonic, dry humor. Cons: No new stuff - Bill Watterson retired.
Calvin stands over a sleeping Hobbes with a water balloon at the ready. Upon awakening, Hobbes gently queries, "If today were the last day of your life, would you do anything differently?" A pause. "Especially if, by doing things differently, today...
Pros: File under: cannot be categorized Cons: You try to draw and write a cartoon perfect from the start, Mr. Michelangelo Dickens!
On November 18, 1985, Bill Watterson unleashed a hyper tot and his tiger friend upon some thirty-odd newspaper cartoon pages. Stretching the envelope of the comic strip art form from the start, Watterson breathed fresh air into an industry that had...
Pros: Wit and deep feeling, all rolled up in a mischievous six year old Cons: Same as everyone elses. Bill Watterson stopped writing.
I'm coming to this review from a different perspective than others who have written about The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. While they seem to have been long devoted fans, I just recently (with this book in fact) realized the greatness of...
Pros: A new insight into an old favorite, C&H though the eyes of it's creator. Cons: No new strips.
Just when you thought Calvin and Hobbes were no more
It was a sad day in 1996 when Calvin and Hobbes was put to rest. It was sadder still when new books stopped coming off the presses. But, at last there is another Calvin and Hobbes...
Pros: Some of the best Calvin and Hobbes strips, great commentary from Watterson Cons: Calvin and Hobbes ended it's run shortly after this book's release.
If you are even a casual fan of Calvin and Hobbes, or just a lover of good comic strips, you need to shut down your computer and run to Barnes and Noble or whatever and get this book. You need this book beside your bed, in the bathroom, anywhere. It is...
Pros: I don't know if I can list them all. this strip is funny, intuitive, and just the biggest laugh you can pack into a sunday paper... that is before 1996. Cons: May not be the best thing for a child under 10 to get a hold of... it doesn't teach things appropriate for them, if they try to copy Calvin it could be a disaster =o)
Calvin and Hobbes would have to be my favorite comic strip of all time. Not only is it funny and intuitive, but I was also a little like Calvin as a child. I received my first book for Christmas when I was eight yeas old. at the time I hated...
Pros: You can buy it for your kids. Cons: They will not let you read it until they are finished
You may argue cartoons are for people who have an attention span to reading of a gold fish. That may be true but that do not means the story it tells are lacking in gravity. I would argue that the brevity and simplicity is it greatness. In 3 to 6...
Pros: One of the true classic comix of the late 20th century... Cons: Why don't they make 'em like they used to?
Bob Watterson's strip has to rank up there with the greatest of all time, alongside Peanuts for topical insight, Doonesbury for bad-boy humor, Luann for family interaction...the list goes on and on. It has that unique quality of...
Pros: Brilliant Cons: Just not being written anymore
When I was a kid, I loved "Garfield." These days, I don't even read it. Same goes for a great many comic strips, including "Family Circus" and "Robotman." Once they were funny. Now it's the same dumb thing week after...
Pros: Very funny at parts, great humor for all in the family Cons: Just make it a bit longer...
"Hello, dad. It is now three in the morning. Do you know where I am?" This is just typical for Calvin, a hyperactive and slightly insane six year old up to his old tricks again to try and create some humor with his parents
