Visit the world of a young boy with a hyperactive imagination and his stuffed tiger with a penchant for commenting on life and everything under the sun in The Essential Calvin and Hobbes, a collection of comic strips by Bill Watterson.
Summary of the Book
Calvin is an ordinary young boy. He despises having his hair combed down by his mom for those boring family portraits, he loves pretending his mother packs him worm sandwiches for lunch just to gross out the new girl at school, he hopes that one day his mom will trust him enough to buy him his very own flamethrower. He sets out one day to catch a wild tiger, much to his parents’ amusement. So when he returns with a wild tiger named Hobbes, he is only surprised that his parents aren’t dropping dead from the shock. Why, they pretend like Hobbes was just a stuffed animal! Couldn’t they see that he was a feral beast, capable of carnal harm and total evisceration of the human form? So why don’t they help him fend off the terrifying beast as he jumps on Calvin every day he returns from that despicable madhouse adults call a school? Calvin’s concerns are the concerns of all kids, for he wonders why his father isn’t getting impeached. He surely deserves to, in Calvin’s opinion, the polls aren’t looking too good. He doesn’t believe Calvin when he tells him there’s something drooling beneath his bed, and he definitely doesn’t trust Calvin to stay home alone and take care of himself. There was that one time he submerged the living room in water but that’s something that could happen to any kid!

Good Service by Flipkart, Amazing Book
About The Book:
The Book is amazing. I am reading it now and loving every moment. I had always read many bits and pieces of Calvin and Hobbes over the internet but not as a book. The paper quality is also nice but do not compare it to hardcover edition. You get more than what you expect in just 452 rupees. Some black and white and some coloured pages.
Loving it. ...

Hilarious!
This collection of Calvin and Hobbes is a delight to read through as are all such collections. Wonderfully hilarious and yet in a strange way sublimely introspective!
Flipkart, you guys are awesome! Brilliant service and timely delivery.

Great Buy!
This collection has some of the best of the series but doesn't contain the transmogrification series that i love the most.
Funny, thought-provoking and timeless; If you're a C&H fan, this book is a must have in your library!

My 1st calvin & hobbes buy!
It contains the regular comic black and white strips with occasional coloured strip (as was made in original).
If confused between any other calvin & hobbes book and this, I would suggest to buy thi coz it has ample comic strips and contains 256 pages compared to other books available!

Its Calvin and Hobbes!
Anyway, this was a gift, and I am happy it was delivered to the location I wanted, really a remote place.
But, the shipment itself was delayed, it was delivered very late. But no issues.

For humour, anytime and everytime!
If you've read them, you're bound to love them and if you haven't now is the time to.
Order this book and you'll never be lonely even when you're alone.
They sure know how to entertain!
Kudos! to Bill Waterson
