Book Review: The REAL Essential Calvin & Hobbes
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is more than a collection of strips. It is a in-depth look into the world of cartooning. Watterson displays great intellignece in his viewpoints on copyrighting, merchandising, and the formatting of the Sunday Strip, which he fought to change so that he wouldn't be hindered by a confining format.

He also gives you detailed biographies of the characters in his strips and some of the influences behind them.

Of course, the book is packed with some of his greatest strips, along with commentary about why certain strips were included in this collection. He shows some of his personal favorite strips (including a classic series where Calvin hires Hobbes to cut his hair with hilarious results) and uses strips to illustrate his points.

This is a must-have for anyone who loves Calvin and Hobbes and a great book for anybody who is fascinated by the world of cartooning.

Summary of Calvin And Hobbes 10th Anniversary (Hd)

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. Not surprisingly, Watterson shines through as a being of considerable integrity, and the cartoons gain in depth thanks to his commentary. And, of course, the cartoons in the other 90% of the book are alternately side-splitting hilarious or touching. Happy Anniversary, Bill, and good luck with whatever it is you are doing now!
