Purchase options and add-ons

Calvin and Hobbes are at it again, and this time, our irrepressible friends are taking a walk on the wild side.

Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat chronicles another segment of the multifarious adventures of this wild child and his faithful, but skeptical, friend. If the best cartoons compel readers to identify themselves within the funny frames, then all who enjoy Calvin and Hobbes are creative, imaginative, and ... bad, bad, bad!

Calvin, the irascible little boy with the stuffed tiger who comes to life are a pair bound for trouble. Boring school lessons become occasions for death-defying alien air battles, speeding snow sled descents elicit philosophical discussions on the meaning of life, and Hobbes's natural inclination to pounce on his little friend wreaks havoc on Calvin's sense of security.

Calvin's the kid we all wish we'd been. Sassy, imaginative, far more verbal than his parents can manage, Calvin is the quintessential bad boy—and the boy we love to see. He terrorizes little Susie, offers "Candid Opinions" from a neighborhood stand, and questions his parents' authority. "What assurance do I have that your parenting isn't screwing me up?" he demands.

Calvin and Hobbes manages to say what needs to be said about childhood and life: "Eww, mud," says Calvin. "Look at this gooshy, dirty, slimy, thick, wet mud ... Bleecch ... Talk about a kid magnet!"

Editorial Reviews

Review

"At some level, all American childhoods are the same, which probably explains our lasting love affair with Calvin and Hobbes." (Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post)

"Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes,' easily one of the most beloved comic strips of all time..." (Bryan Hood, New York Post)

"A student of comics, Watterson drew from an eclectic set of influences...The result was a strip that was vibrant, accessible, and beautiful." (Jake Rossen, Mental Floss)

    I caught several Calvin and Hobbes books "Daily Deals" the other day and I'm so glad I splurged and got them for myself. I laughed more reading this book than I've laughed in a long, long time. I love how it's easy to zoom in and out as needed, and slide the panels along. I thank the publisher for formatting that way from the bottom of my warm little heart, I bought myself a comic from one of the big names in publishing and couldn't do that with their book. :( My vision isn't perfect, so being able to zoom in and navigate is a pleasure ( I use an older Kindle 7" HDX). I do wish there was a way to bookmark favorite panels to revisit later, though. I'm very happy with this purchase. I enjoyed every minute with Calvin and Hobbes. I'm sure I'll enjoy the other books just as much. I love Calvin and Hobbes. :)

    I got this, and all the other Calvin + Hobbes books for my dad, as he used to have a lot of them before my ex stepmother took them in their divorce a few years ago. I grew up stealing those books from him to read, and we had a lot of good memories around those books and reading them together. He loved them, and the comics are still as amazing as I remember them being <3

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Witty Cartoon!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Calvin & Hobbes is a classic cartoon series!! We are gaining quite a collection. One of my boys is especially an enthusiast! Watterson takes the selfish mind of a little boy, and opens up to us the private philosophizing that goes on in his selfish little head. He has conversations with his stuffed tiger, who often tries to balance out the lad. We laugh because we understand how the little guy feels, his thought processes... because of the universal selfish nature of man!! The parents oft step in and teach some lessons along the way. But his antics and thoughts are witty, and humorous!! Much more entertaining to me/us than most other comic strips.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My formal introduction...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I remember reading this comic strip from time to time. It came in my grandparents' paper, so I got to read it when I happened to be at their house. I remember liking it, but I didn't really retain any specifics from it regarding why. A couple years ago I watched a documentary and it stirred my interest, particularly the artist's refusal to license it (for movies, toys, etc.).

    Today it was on sale as an e-book, so I bought 3 books. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity, and so I read one—and wow! I get the appeal! Bill Watterson's view of our culture is sharp. He says what I am thinking (though oftentimes in a much more eloquent way) through the mouthpiece of a precocious little rascal. I love it. I look forward to rereading it often and sharing it with my friends.
