Ugh, of course a 6-year old boy like Calvin would think that "treasure" would be worms, bugs, and other disgusting things... That being said, this collection is actually chalk full of philosophical treasure, as Watterson explores the larger themes of the universe. He covers mans' role in the inverse (ie on an individual level pretty much meaningless), the foibles of parenthood, and the harships of a 6-year old with too much social consciousness. Throw in a bunch of Calvin's uniquely deranged snowmen (which could be interpreted as a meta-commentary and hint towards Calvin's future in an anarchic-artistic field) and you've got another fantastic collection of comics. ( ) "Muchas smooches por el conkisstador!" I read that line when it came out in the paper, lo those many years ago, and I still love it! So fun to see it again in this collection! I love C&H and this collection just reaffirms that love! The snow "men" on these pages still tickle my funny bone, just as they did the first time I saw them! Maybe I'll reread my whole collection! :-) no reviews | add a review
