Book Reviews of Calvin And Hobbes 10th Anniversary (Hd)

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

Bill Watterson has created a smart, insightful, and often hilarious look at his always entertaining comic strip, Calvin & Hobbes.

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)

In November 1985, the magic of Calvin and Hobbes first appeared on the funny pages, introducing the world to a wondrous pair of friends. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of this distinguished partnership between a six-year-old boy and his (sometimes) stuffed tiger, Watterson has prepared a special book, which shares his thoughts on cartooning and is illustrated throughout with black-and-white and color cartoons.
Now that Bill Watterson has retired from drawing syndicated cartoons, the only way to get our Calvin and Hobbes fixes is through his book collections. The 10th Anniversary Book is particularly notable, because in addition to getting some of his most wonderful cartoons, we also gain a sense of Watterson as a person.

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!
