This, the second Calvin and Hobbes collection, is funnier than it's predecessor. In it you have a few more extended "storylines", such as Calvin's first dramatic role as an onion, Susie's birthday party, and class pictures, the strips that brought tears to my eyes. (I always wanted to do something like that but never had the nerve....) It's great stuff. If you don't have a copy on your shelf, go out and buy one.

When I worked at the public library shelving books, I worked out a complicated rewards system for myself involving shelving a certain number of non-fiction books and then reading a certain number of pages of Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes was the best part of that job for sure! Transmogrify now!

Take a childhood fear and make it real... and ridiculous!
This may be the best way to get children over their fears. It might be good to expose a child to Calvin's silly fears and projections.
I think it helped me when I was younger.

This book was a tiny dazzle dropped into my mind. Then, it spread rapidly, spreading out the joy and fun from this book! I say Bill Watterson is the best comic cartoonist on Earth!

this man is talented beyond my comprehension. his ability to weave visual and verbal elements in a way that creates true humor and deep charcterization is astonishing.

I love Calvin and Hobbes. I miss reading them in the paper. I also love how simple the cartoon is drawn. This cartoon is somewhat why I became a graphic designer.

5 stars = re-read. Classic Calvin at his best.
I rated it G just to remind you that Calvin didn't start peeing on everything until Bill retired.

If you're going to buy Calvin and Hobbes collections, go for the bigger ones! They often include the comics that are in these shorter collections.

This was the first Calvin and Hobbes book I received. I used to photocopy the comics and make birthday cards for my friends with the pictures.

I think I first read this book at about eight years old, and it makes me laugh out loud as much now as it did then. Delightful!

This is what I consider to be a "small" book in the collection. These were one of the four that I got for Christmas.

If you don't love Calvin and Hobbes then you probably have posters of Kim Jong Il in your room. Commie.
