Calvin And Hobbes 10th Anniversary (hd)

by Watterson

Andrews McMeel Publishing | September 1, 1995 | Hardcover

Cartoonist Bill Watterson was born in Washington, D.C. on July 5, 1958. He graduated from Kenyon College in 1980 with a B.A. in Political Science. Before beginning to publish his popular Calvin and Hobbes comic strip in 1985, Watterson worked briefly as a political cartoonist and also designed grocery advertisements. Calvin and Hobbes is one of the most well-regarded, successful comics of the twentieth century. Watterson depicted the adventures of an imaginative six-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger for ten years and ended the strip at the height of its popularity. The creator is known for his revolutionary design techniques and refusal to merchandise his characters or allow them to appear in an animated series. Watterson published several collections of his Calvin and Hobbes strips, including "It's a Magical World,""The Days Are Just Packed," and "The Revenge of the Baby-Sat." He has been recognized numerous times for excellence, including receiving two Reuben Awards for Cartoonist of the Year, consecutive Harvey Awards for Best Syndicated Comic Strip from 1990 to 1996, and two Eisner Awards for Best Comic Strip Collection.

    'Calvin and Hobbes', I believe, may be one of the most enjoyable and humorous comic series ever created. Bill Watterson has perfected an average six-year-old's unique actions and placed them on Calvin, adding a bit more brain capacity and vocal opinions. Much like all boys at his age, Calvin fantasizes, pulls pranks, disobeys and hates school. His best friend, Hobbes (whose existence is believed to be a product of Calvin's imagination) is a tiger who seems to be more levelheaded than him, and shares tiger-like qualities. In this collection of Calvin's short (But wildly popular) 10 years of fame, Calvin's most unique adventures and experiences are placed within this book, along with their inspiration as explained by his cartoonist, Bill Watterson. Secrets, ideas, inspirations and other unique things you might not have known about Calvin's adventures are revealed in this book, so if you're a fan of the series, or even if you're not, this book will be perfect for you. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good laugh, as well as anyone curious to know how this widely popular series and its many misadventures were inspired. If you're both of the two things mentioned above, that's all the more reason for you to read this book! As Calvin once said, "I'm not going anywhere." Neither will you as you cling on to this book, completely captivated and addicted to Calvin's bizarre and humorous aspect of life.

    I just recieved this book as a gift for christmas and i couldn't put it down. I own all of the calvin and hobbes books and this one is my favorite by far. I like it because Bill Watterson talks about the strips and tells about all the struggles and obstacles he had to overcome to make calvin and hobbes such a smash success. He also talks about his influence and who he modeled calvin, hobbes and all the characters after. I highly reccomend this book, it is the best!!!

    This is an excellent example of Bill Watterson's writing. He shows us that it's alright to be a child, by creating a child, that actually acts like a child. I strongly recommend reading this, no matter what age you are, where you come from, or what gender you are. I only wish Mr. Watterson wouldn't have quit creating his strips.
