An iconic author leaves thoughts on the growth and brilliance of his work as a whole, and on individual strips he has something to say about. An excellent glimpse into the background of an amazing comic strip that defined comics, the trade and the imagination. I'll always be a little bit of Calvin with a need for a lot more Hobbes. ( )

A great collection of comics with commentary, and some excellent essays. I *think* all are reprinted in the complete collection. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0836204387, Paperback)

Now that Bill Watterson has retired from drawing syndicated cartoons, the only way to get our Calvin and Hobbes fixes is through his book collections. The 10th Anniversary Book is particularly notable, because in addition to getting some of his most wonderful cartoons, we also gain a sense of Watterson as a person.

Approximately one-tenth of the book contains essays about matters great and small--from cartooning to life--and stories about the inspiration behind some of his greatest strips. Not surprisingly, Watterson shines through as a being of considerable integrity, and the cartoons gain in depth thanks to his commentary. And, of course, the cartoons in the other 90% of the book are alternately side-splitting hilarious or touching. Happy Anniversary, Bill, and good luck with whatever it is you are doing now!
