Product Description: When cartoonist Bill Watterson announced that his phenomenally popular cartoon strip would be discontinued on the last day of 1995, Calvin and Hobbes fans throughout the world went into mourning. Fans have learned to survive - despite the absence of the boy and his tiger in the daily newspaper. Now, like the wave of a sweet memory; comes one last chance to experience Calvin and Hobbes, in its final collection. Like the thirteen extraordinarily successful Watterson books that came before it, this volume promises to deliver all the satisfaction of visiting its characters once more. Calvin fans will be able to see their favorite mischief maker stir it up with his furry friend, long-suffering parents, classmate Susie Derkins, school teacher Miss Wormwood, and Rosalyn the baby-sitter. This collection, including full-color Sundays, has it all: Calvin-turned-firefly waking Hobbes with his flashlight glow; courageous Spaceman Spiff rocketing through alien galaxies as he battles Dad-turned-Bug-Being; and Calvin's always inspired snowman art. There's no better way for Watterson fans to savor once again the special qualities of their favorite strip.
The Grand Finale Well, this is the last installment of the C&H series. But does this mean more misery? No, of course not! The last C&H strip that was ever published gives us all a sense of hope for the world. And it also gives us more appreciation for the entire series. Calvin and Hobbes is filled with imaginary adventures, philsophical and satirical discussions, slapstick humor, and gorgeous scenery. I didn't appreciate these comics back when I was young, but I do now. Calvin and Hobbes will last another millenium, because it's brilliant stuff that shouldn't be messed with (with the exception of the hilarious "Robot Chicken" skit).
Magical World, Calvin and Hobbes This book is good humor and intellectually stimulating. I purchased it for my son who is LD. He and I read it together. I love it.
Book Failed to Match the Seller's Description The book, "It's A Magical World: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection" was described as follows: Condition: Used - Very Good Seller note: BOOK IS IN GREAT SHAPE Unfortunately, the book is not in great shape. It has a stain across the top of the cover and the first few pages. Perhaps coffee was spilled on it. It also has an odor, which I suspect is from cigarette smoke.
I requested that the seller provide a refund or a replacement book, which actually is in Very Good Condition.
She was unwilling to do what I requested. However, she was willing to refund 50% of the purchase price to me. I accepted that as being better than nothing.
I would not purchase another item from this seller and I would not recommend her to anybody.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a review.
Sincerely, Mike Reed
master comics The world of Calvin and Hobbs is indeed magical and totally entertaining. One can obtain a used copy of this book at a bargain price. Delightful!
C&H is a World of Magic Fans of Calvin & Hobbes who used to read the newspaper strip in the 80s and 90s will find great pleasure in reading this collection of C&H comics. These witty comics about the 6-year old Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes, named after the famous philosophers, will amuse people of all ages. The perceptiveness and humor of Watterson deserve the highest of cartoon awards, while his artistic creations exude hilarity. This cartoon is perhaps one of the most piercing yet funny critiques of modern society.
Snow creations, sledding, pranks against Susie, Miss Wormwood and more creative ways to escape class, ⦠the fun in Calvinâ(tm)s world never ends!
Note that there are two series of C&H collections: individual wide-format albums, each covering an entire year of strips (will call it âaeregularâ), and the vertical aspect ratio âaetreasury seriesâ which covers selected comics from two regular C&H books. Note that C&H ran for a year in newspapers, so thereâ(tm)s 10 regular books and 5 treasury books. Though the cartoons are slightly smaller in the treasury collection, each treasury book is far thicker and contains more strips than a regular book, and is furthermore less expensive, so treasury books are a real bargain. âaeItâ(tm)s a Magical Worldâ belongs to the regular series and was published in 1996.
