The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book

I got this for my nephew, and he really enjoyed it. The humor is fun and easy to follow, and the characters are imaginative and entertaining. It is one of those books that keeps kids engaged while still being enjoyable to read together. A simple, thoughtful gift that never goes out of style.

Brings me way back I owned the same book as a kid

My favourite of all times.

It is my feeling that Bill Watterson had enough integrity and ethics to prevent the syndicate from cranking out endless meaninglessly repetitive compilations. Of course, he did quit partly because he was becoming disgusted with many of the commercial aspects of his work. With most comics, even good ones, the collections get stale after a few. Watterson's collections dont. There are a dozen or so C&H compilations/collections, but you wont be dissapointed with owning the whole shebang, especially since Watterson frequently did a lot of extra work to ensure that each collection had something new to offer. Even without this extra stuff, Watterson's body of work is extensive enought to warrant owning all these collections. He was steadily cranking out great material for a decade or so, and if you are like me you will be reading some C&H weekly for as long as you are on this earth, so tons of books is not a bad thing. Basically, I wholeheartedly reccomend all the books. If you like one you will like them all. They only get better as you get to know the characters. Watterson never goes for the cheap laugh by having any of the comic's principals act out of character. As you progress through the years with C&H, and I do reccomend reading them in order, you will see how art progresses and grows when the artist is committed to excellent work. So, go get the first one, titled simply Calvin & Hobbes, and then start down the enjoyable road to making Calvin and his tiger a pleasant little chunk of your life.

I got this, and all the other Calvin + Hobbes books for my dad, as he used to have a lot of them before my ex stepmother took them in their divorce a few years ago. I grew up stealing those books from him to read, and we had a lot of good memories around those books and reading them together. He loved them, and the comics are still as amazing as I remember them being <3

Calvin, on Sundays, sees life (or, at least, he used to from 1985 to 1995) through the extraordinary eyes of Spiff, and more. Spiff is Calvin's dreamland ego, one in which he is brave and heroic and always amazing. He solves his home and school troubles -- which, as we know, abound. There's more than Spaceman Spiff here. It is the playful imagination of a boy trying to get through his sixth year. I've read these over and over. They are funny every time, as it is with all of Calvin and Hobbes. Bill Watterson's time drawing Calvin and Hobbes is sadly over. Was he the last great new cartoonist? Maybe. I hope not. Thankfully, we have this collection to tide us over.

My sons loved reading Calvin and Hobbes. So did I. After the comic strip had ended, we purchased several of the books so that we could enjoy our favorite strips all over again. Now I have a granddaughter who is old enough to enjoy Calvin and his antics. My son and his wife, and granddaughter, live more than 2,000 miles away from me. Reading Calvin and Hobbes is a way to bond across the miles. I order a copy of Calvin for her, and one for me. When we talk on the phone, we laugh together over our favorite strips. Even though she is under ten, she enjoys the Calvin books, plus the strips make her think about actions and consequences, especially when she has to use her imagination to think about what happens after the last picture in the strip ends with Calvin ready to pounce. Young children can read for fun while pondering the deeper meanings.

I'm so glad I could still find these. I loved these books when I was younger and want to share them with my kids. They really enjoyed this one.

Un classique des Calvin & Hobbes

Supertop und schnelle Lieferung, Artikel wie beschrieben in einwandfreiem Zustand. Und gab sogar Gummibärchen dazu! Vielen Dank!

This book is very recommended to those comic book fans that really like to read about how life is through a child's perspective. I never thought I would encounter a book this wonderful!

Was expecting most of it to be in black and white, so full colour was a great surprise. The humour is top notch: one for all the family!

Read this many years ago and loved rereading this clever, witty, laugh out loud book.
