Great comic - better editions available, 26. September 2006

I agree with the other reviewers that Calvin and Hobbes is a great cartoon strip. Be warned, though, that this book only contains comics which are also included in 'The Essential Calvin and Hobbes' (which is not that much more expensive, but has 256 instead of only 128 pages). More important to me, it does not feature commentary from Bill Watterson or notes/explanations of the origins and influences of Calvin and Hobbes as another reader wrote.

So, it's a great comic, but only an average edition. Buy 'The Essential Calvin and Hobbes' or (if you have some money to spend) 'The Complete Calvin and Hobbes'.

      Simple unadulterated pleasures, 9. Januar 2002

Probably the most relaxing and fun filled way to spend an evening alone is to spend it with Calvin and Hobbes. Every panel reminds you of your childhood and the fond memories keep you engrossed. Although these panels can be viewed on a computer, there really can be no substitute to curling on a couch - hobbes style.

      Zum Brüllen!, 19. Mai 2001

Diese Sammlung von Calvon & Hobbes - Geschichten bringt jeden zum Lachen. Jede Seite sprüht nur so von neuen (und alten) Gags! Die Geschichten sind teilweise S/W, teilweise farbig, was dem Spass aber keinen Abbruch tut. Ein muß für jeden Fan leicht schwarzen Humors, und wer Kinder hat, wird so manche Episode wiedererkennen!!

       A great Calvin and Hobbes book., 20. Juli 2000

This was the first book of Calvin and Hobbes. It tells how the two got together as well as all of their first adventures. I'm a big Calvin and Hobbes fan, and I have several of their books, including this one. This book is great.
