A book I have kept thinking of years after reading it. Great prose, plot, characters, universe - it has it all.
My favorite scenes are of Jeevan and Frank in Toronto as the pandemic is unfolding.
This is a three volume slipcased book collection of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips …
As a child I read Calvin & Hobbes in the daily newspaper and paperbacks while the strip was still being written. Now my kids read these big books nightly before bed. So far they are holding up well to wear-and-tear.
Tiny bits of content haven't aged well (the frequent use of "sissy"), but the vast majority of it has. Some commentary - on TV and environmental destruction - is even more on-point today.
The artwork remains stunning. Take a deep look at a panel where Hobbes pounces on Calvin, "POW!" Masterful.
