Calvin, cheeky, hyperactive and mischievous, and Hobbes, his cuddly toy tiger who, as far as Calvin is concerned is very much alive and kicking, are two of the most loveable and hilarious characters to grace the comic strip in years.
This collection contains material taken from Calvin and Hobbes and Something Under the Bed is Drooling, along with twelve pages of new material.
Bill Watterson (Author, Illustrator)
William Boyd Watterson II was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Ohio. Ohio's suburbia was part of the inspiration for Calvin and Hobbes. He won the National Cartoonist's Society Reuben award in 1986.

No one has captured children's world view and sense of imagination in cartoon strip form as well as Watterson. Nor applied it so strikingly to comment on adult life and attitudes or the general absurdity of the world in which we live Much will strike a chord and raise a knowing smile at their perception, but above all, they are very, very funny. - MIDWEEK
