I can't wait to see what VOLUME 3 holds in store. That may be my favorite recurring gimmick, followed by Calvin informing his dad of where he stands in the "dad polls," and right up there with Calvin making some philosophical point while he and Hobbes race pell-mell down a hill in their wagon or sled.Ĭalvin & Hobbes bring me so much joy, and the growing realization that most of VOLUME 2 was uncharted territory for me compounded that joy. Join Calvin and Hobbes on all their adventures in this three-volume hardcover collection of every comic strip from the comic strip’s 11-year history (1985 to 1996). The entire body of Calvin and Hobbescartoons was originally published in hardcover as a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete. It covers 1989 through the first half of 1992, during which Watterson experimented more with recurring gimmicks and added continuity, such as Calvin and his babysitter, Rosalyn, remembering what each did to the other on the last occasion they met. VOLUME 1 of COMPLETE was familiar territory for me, but VOLUME 2 was largely knew. Growing up, my mom bought me the C&H hardcovers that collected a year's worth (give or take) of strips. That said, I enjoyed THE COMPLETE CALVIN & HOBBES: VOLUME 2 more than the first volume for one simple reason: I hadn't read most of them before. Calvin & Hobbes is funny, poignant, and memorable no matter where in the comic's 10-year history you're reading. Not an individual comic, nor a storyline unfolding over days or weeks. There's no such thing as a bad Calvin & Hobbes strip.
