Fans of Calvin & Hobbes will enjoy this collection. People who used to be fans of Calvin & Hobbes when they were younger, and now just find Calvin to be an annoying little punk who thinks he's smart, but is really just a lazy (though imaginative) slacker with a really bad attitude will wonder why in the world they still own this book.
