Not much to say - Calvin and Hobbes.

I am an old woman, so I have read literally thousands of comics. 'Calvin and Hobbes' are the best comics I have ever read. If I wasn't planning on cremation, I would ask to be buried with a 'Calvin and Hobbes' book. (Second choice would be 'Doonesbury'.) I am an old woman, so I have read literally thousands of comics.

Last few days I've spent on getting to know Calvin and Hobbes, reading all I could put my hands or lay my eyes on :) This is definitely my favourite issue, specifically the snow goons part and the Duplicator fun :) I've read this over a Thursday morning coffee and I just felt sorry afterwards that I rushed to read it all asap. My personal highlight was the: "Hobbes, do you think our morality is defined by our actions, or by what's in our hearts? I think our actions SHOW what's in our hearts."

"I RESENT THAT!" :D :D

I don’t know if a family, much less a childhood, without Calvin and Hobbes would be complete. Frankly, once it stopped being published, my newspaper readership dropped off significantly. Everyone needs to smile, needs a little imagination in their life, and needs a little bit of Calvin and Hobbes. And if anyone is up for a game of Calvinball, just give me a call.

2020: still delightful! I love how Hobbes is a stuffed animal when others are around. Calvin’s shenanigans in the snow are hysterical!

This one is maybe a little darker than what went before. But still hilarious, true and beautifully drawn.

Calvin is an academic underachiever, rebel, performance artist, disgruntled philosopher, and all-around bringer of chaos--although his playmate/rival Susie refers to him as "the incurable weirdness poster child." Whether discovering a new dinosaur species (the "Calvinosaurus") or evading the dreaded monster under the bed, Calvin is hilarious. "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons" refers to one of these story lines in which Calvin creates a mutant snow man which in turn create Calvin is an academic underachiever, rebel, performance artist, disgruntled philosopher, and all-around bringer of chaos--although his playmate/rival Susie refers to him as "the incurable weirdness poster child." Whether discovering a new dinosaur species (the "Calvinosaurus") or evading the dreaded monster under the bed, Calvin is hilarious. "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons" refers to one of these story lines in which Calvin creates a mutant snow man which in turn creates an army of similar creatures. Other story lines involve Calvin getting chicken pox; his creation of his own TV show; and his club known as GROSS (a warped acronym for "Get Rid Of Slimy girlS"). Last but not least, Calvin builds a human duplicating machine out of a cardboard box, and he makes a special copy of himself that represents everything good in him. His plan is to make his flawless duplicate do all of his homework and chores, while he himself gets all the credit. Everything goes fine for a while, until his duplicate develops a crush on Suzie, making him look bad. Hilarity ensues. The Calvin and Hobbes stories are great because they are funny celebrations of the power of a child's imagination. Calvin assumes such alternate identities as sci-fi hero Spaceman Spiff, caped superhero Stupendous Man, and private eye Tracer Bullet. Often the humor comes from the clash of Calvin's fantasies with the reality around him. The stuffed Hobbes, through the power of Calvin's imagination, becomes both a comrade and a great foil for the boy; their wacky relationship is one of the most memorable in the comic strip genre. I guarantee that anyone that loves comics will fall in love with this one and should definitely buy this book to start their collection of classic comics. Best comic ever in my opinion.

A cartoon strip that makes you laugh, makes you wonder, makes you reminisce, makes you cry...Calvin & Hobbes is just pure joy. Some strips don't even need words, others have entire monologues scrawled onto 3 or 4 tiny boxes, and yet all of them capture your attention and leave you feeling better than before. Just quality work through and through. A cartoon strip that makes you laugh, makes you wonder, makes you reminisce, makes you cry...Calvin & Hobbes is just pure joy.

The best comic strip ever written, in my humble opinion, with The Far Side and Peanuts not far behind. Calvin battles his parents, his teacher, the doctor, the monsters under the bed, the snow goons, his neighbor Susie, and sometimes Hobbes. He also sometimes battles himself, like when he remembers that Santa is watching; and even his ethicator-enhanced duplicator-created always-good duplicate when said duplicate is too kind to Susie Derkins. Friendship, mischief, imagination, and lots of fun. Th The best comic strip ever written, in my humble opinion, with The Far Side and Peanuts not far behind.

“Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons” is a delightful Calvin and Hobbes collection with lots of strips and storylines that focus on winter activities. There are quite a few of the famous philosophical sled rides with Calvin and Hobbes careening down dangerous hills while pondering some of the most significant aspects of our daily lives. Also included in this collection were the strips featuring Calvin being “attacked” by his bike, coincidently while he is learning to ride it. “Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons” is a delightful Calvin and Hobbes collection with lots of strips and storylines that focus on winter activities.

Some favorite storylines also reappear, including the the second appearance of Calvin’s duplicator machine, and a storyline featuring Calvin’s caustic film noir private eye. “Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons” is perfect reading while a snowstorm rages outside. As usual with a Calvin and Hobbes collection I found myself laughing and thinking at the same time. I enjoy when that happens! I can always count on Calvin and Hobbes to make me laugh, and to tease my brain cells a little. I love them, and these collections, for that!

If there's ever a moment when you want to laugh and smile, just ask the help of Calvin and his best friend Hobbes. You can never go wrong. If there's ever a moment when you want to laugh and smile, just ask the help of Calvin and his best friend Hobbes. You can never go wrong.

This book is my favorite in the series. The title is very promising, and you get a lot of Calvin’s snowmen indeed. Hobbes is amazing: he is skeptical, sarcastic, and infinitely wise. Furthermore, he takes advantage of his feral self against Calvin a lot... Calvin’s duplicator is a fantastic invention. Completing it with an Ethicator makes it more effective, creating the good side of Calvin.

Only Calvin could see advantages in being sick and having to stay away from other kids. And away from school. Calvin's bitter enemy surfaces in this volume: the deadly bicicle. It's amazing to which lengths he goes to to explain his bad behavior near Christmas. He's such a victim of circumstance. The PI story is hilarious and riddled with mysoginistic references like any good pulp novel should be. He is adorable when he breaks the fourth wall. I'm so glad I picked up this collection.

Great collection of strips that id never read before. Novels and bios are great, but a good collection of comic strips like this is an easier read, whether it's a single story strip or stretches out over a few. The humor for this strip is always funny, I wish it still ran in newspapers. Great collection of strips that id never read before.
