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.

They really put most of the best of Bill Watterson's strips in this one

I got this for the grandkid. I have the complete 3 volume set, but he wanted one for himself that he could read in his room, so I got him the hardcover and he reads it every night. They really put most of the best of Bill Watterson's strips in this one. All the main characters, most of Calvin's craziest schemes, and all of the comics charm, His characters are hilarious and thoughtful at the same time. It's the best comic series of all time. Well, The Far Side is pretty good, too.....

wonderful book

My children loved Calvin and Hobbes books and I gave this one to my grand baby!

Book is awesome

Every generation loves Calvin & Hobbs. Grandson has been reading me these comics since he was 5. His first book to read out loud. (I was astounded!)

Always a great gift

I regularly buy Calvin & Hobbes books as birthday presents. It is always a success.

My era...so many laughs!

Bought this as a gift and had to peruse it, naturally. I couldn't stop laughing at most of those wonderful Watterson comic strips. Priceless! If you have children, you won't regret reading this spiral bound book of comic strips, over and over. Does wonder for the spirits!

Great way to revisit C&H

My kids love Calvin and Hobbes, and carry this book around with them everywhere. The library binding hardcover version of this book stands up to all of the abuse a 6 and 10 year old can dish out. We ordered all 3 of the books (essential/authoritative/indispensable) and I think all of the C&H strips I remember are in there somewhere. Highly recommend for anyone who either has or was a precocious child.

Perfection.

This book is an essential for every personal library. It's enormously fun and witty.

Great Book!

Hilarious book! One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes Collections! A great buy for anyone who loves the wild antics of Calvin and his tiger Hobbes

Made the recipient happy

A Christmas present

Its Calvin and Hobbes! While not everything ever produced, it is great for those just getting into the mind of Watterson.
