5.0 out of 5 stars Your collection isn't complete without this book, 17 Dec 2002

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book (Calvin and Hobbes Series) (Paperback)

As a fan of Calvin and Hobbes, I put off getting this book because I thought it was merely a best of collection I didn't need since I had all the others. Boy was I wrong! This book is a wonderful insight into the mind behind my favorite strip of all time.

Bill Watterson spends the first part of the book talking about everything from character names and personalities to his fights to keep his characters from being over commercialized. While I wish there were more products available, I do respect him for sticking to his principles on this. He also talks about the format of the Sunday strips.

The rest of the book is a collection of strips, starting with the very first. What is interesting here is Mr. Watterson's commentary. Whether it's the idea behind or an amusing story that happened because of a strip, it's all very entertaining. It also brings out some of the themes talked about it the strip. He also discusses the ideas behind such staples as the wagon, Calvin's box, and Spaceman Spiff.

I truly miss this wonderful strip because of its creativity and insights into modern culture. This book shows the behinds the scene story in an entertaining and informative way.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best comic strips in the world!, 24 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Calvin and Hobbes: Thereby Hangs a Tale v.1: Thereby Hangs a Tale Vol 1 (Calvin and Hobbes Series) (Paperback)

A paper back version of the some of the strips from the first Calvin and Hobbes book. Small enough to fit in a bag, it can cheer you up on the train or bus. I read the whole thing in an hour and laughed all the way through. Great for anyone who hasn't read Calvin and Hobbes before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pocket sized brillance!!, 4 Nov 2000

By A Customer

this book is so amazing featuring a endearing bunch of characters and great humor. these strips are included in some of the bigger books but it's handy to have these if you just want books can sling in a backpack to read. this is highly recommened.
