Calvin and Hobbes was, simply, the best comic strip." -Charles Solomon, Los Angeles TimesMany moons ago, the magic of Calvin and Hobbes first appeared on the funny pages and the world was introduced to a wondrous pair of friends - a boy and his tiger, who brought new life to the comics page. Happy Anniversary, Bill, and good luck with whatever it is you are doing now!Product DescriptionCelebrating ten years of their crazy antics, author of the Calvin and Hobbes comic, Bill Watterson, invites readers to look back at the first ten years-featuring Watterson's insights and classic comics."Watterson re-created the thoughts and feelings of a six-year-old with uncanny accuracy. And, of course, the cartoons in the other 90% of the book are alternately side-splitting hilarious or touching. Not surprisingly, Watterson shines through as a being of considerable integrity, and the cartoons gain in depth thanks to his commentary.
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. 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.
