The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book

by Bill Watterson

Andrews McMeel Publishing | September 1, 1995 | Trade Paperback

"Watterson re-created the thoughts and feelings of a six-year-old with uncanny accuracy ... Calvin and Hobbes was, simply, the best comic strip." --Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times

Many moons ago, the magic of Calvin and Hobbes first appeared on the funny pages and the world was introduced to a wondrous pair of friends -- a boy and his tiger, who brought new life to the comics page. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this distinguished partnership, Bill Watterson prepared this special book, sharing his thoughts on cartooning and creating Calvin and Hobbes, illustrated throughout with favorite black-and-white and color cartoons.

'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.
