The Tiger Strikes Again

quote:
"Calvin and Hobbes" was such an exuberant, strange and metaphysical realm you wonder how it ever got shoveled into a comic strip.

You remember this when you look at "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes," a 1,456-page art-book epic of every panel ever published: It was original by sheer force of personality. Calvin sounded like a 6-year-old psychotic on Ritalin one day and a Yale lit grad the next. He was id off the leash. He wondered what was worthwhile in life if death was inevitable. ("Seafood," answered Hobbes, his imaginary tiger friend. Wait -- was Hobbes real or not? Debatable.)

Add in Bloom County (with no Outland) and you've hit the comic trifecta.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Does it matter that we already have all the collections, that I've read every strip many times over? Nope.

(And I have The Complete Far Side already.)

That looks awesome. If I had $150 to spend it would go without a doubt to that book. My favorite were the awesome snow creatures that Calvin would build.

I wonder if it will include the watercolor extras from the collections.
