This is an excellent collection of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. Bill Watterson is at his best when satirizing modern society, including consumer culture and society's misguided values. The art is solid and the variety of snowmen Calvin comes up with in this volume is amazing. This is a wonderful mix of art, literature, and philosophy. I only wish Watterson had a higher ratio of satiric comics to the more tame ones. ( )

There is a number of shticks I associate with Calvin and Hobbes--Spaceman Spiff, meetings of G.R.O.S.S., conflicts with Roslyn the babysitter--but it wasn't until I started rereading the strips in order did I appreciate how the strip developed and changed over the years. One thing that surprised me was that the shtick of Calvin's unique snowman creations developed rather late in the series. There have been a few strips here and there in the past collections, but in There's Treasure Everywhere, Calvin's unique snow artistry really bursts out in all it's glory. Anyway, to me that's the most memorable aspect of this particular collection. Of course, there are plenty of other strips as well. At this stage in the strip, Watterson had starting writing more philosophical gags rather than the hysterical Calvinesque capers, but it's still funny. And that's what counts, doesn't it?

This features strips from Bill Watterson's prime. Here he was writing and drawing some of the most spectacular comedy ever seen in the comics. The artwork is beautiful and the comedy is timeless and hilarious. If you buy only one C & H book, make it this one. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0836213122, Paperback)

Few writers--and even fewer cartoonists--have captured the imagination of childhood more effectively than Watterson in his many Calvin and Hobbes cartoons--and apart from his Tenth Anniversary Book, this is probably my favorite Calvin and Hobbes collection.
