Fantastically Funny
This book is simply delightful - my 8-year-old is constantly giggling - he is unable to read it to me for the laughter...He has a high reading level - but kids love it (almost as much as their parents!!)My son really is Calvin (I am a bit concerned he may be getting ideas from the little rascal!!)
LOVE IT!!!

A vicarious return to childhood
What can be said about Calvin & Hobbes that hasn't already been shouted to the heavens by legions of prematurely grown-up fans ?

Calvin is the eternal Child/Id within us all, and Hobbes is his stuffed tiger / best friend / faithful companion in arms come-to-life ... and together they swashbuckle their way through a childhood world populated with drooling monsters of the imagination, screaming ray-guns, carboard boxes turned magical transmogrifiers, and giant tut-tutting adults who are forever dragging us back from our revels by the ear, in order to make us wipe our feet, bathe, eat, do our homework, and go to bed on time.

By laughing at Calvin & Hobbes, we get to vicariously relive some of our own carefree childhoods exploits ... exploits which echo in our adult lives, because (looks both ways) we never actually grew up. Only our bodies did.

Highly recommended.

Calvin and Hobbes by Nick Caruso
. I like this book because it has funny parts.
. I also like the part when calvin pretends to be GodZilla and destoys Tokyo, which is the buildings that Calvin made in his sandbox.
. I dislike someparts of the book.
. I also dislike the part when Calvin pretends to be a zombie.

and everything in this book makes you laugh
Calvin is in alliance with Hobbes to combat the monsters that lurk in his imagination. The victims of this battle? Usually, Calvin's hapless parents. This collection is among the funniest as it centers on the darker side of Calvin's runaway train of imagination: monsters, space creatures, icky girls, and nefarious snowmen. Pick it up, or the monsters in the closet will come out as well.

Calvin and Hobbes at their best
Well, I must admit I have had this book since I was in 8th grade when my best friend at the time gave it to me.I still crack up when I'm going through the pages upon pages of strange situations that Calvin and his stuffed friend find themselves in.Definately a must for any C&H fan and really funny. Buy it. ... Read more

Very funny and entertaining
For the elementary school set, this book is filled with humor that will tickle the funny bone.Even a middle-aged dad (me) laughed out loud at a couple of sections.

The story chronicles the further adventures of the Riot Brothers after their original outing in "Snarf Attack, Underfoodle, and the Secret of Life".Besides having a more digestible title, this volume seems more tightly written and more packed with action per page, as the Brothers conspire to have more fun than ever. ...

One of The Best Books In The Series
This book is actually one of the best book in the Calvin and Hobbes series. Since tis one praticullar book is not a treasury colection, the comics in this book are basically "new." The comics in this book are really funny and most of them have good points to them. Basically what I'm saing is that this book is great.

A refreshing read...A refresher to all adults...
I haven't heard about this collection until my friend accidentally left hers in my house.Anticipating a lousy cartoon strip compilation, I was pleasantly surprised that it was very interesting & hilarious.As an adult, it gave me an overview of how a child's mind works.I have forgotten how imaginative & creative a child could be & realized how repressive I have been acting towards my daughter, just like Calvin's parents.

We all have been like Calvin in our earlier lives.We had a Hobbes as a best friend, a Susie whom we loved to annoy but loved as well, a transmogrifier & a babysitter who scared the hell out of us.We daydreamed in class, we played 'pretend' & lived life to the fullest.

It is so refreshing to witness such naivity once again.& though adult lives have robbed us of our youthful innocence, Calvin & Hobbes takes us back to those pure, clean fun days in a child's life.

Oh Watterson, my Watterson
It is my feeling that Bill Watterson had enough integrity and ethics to prevent the syndicate from cranking out endless meaninglessly repetitive compilations. Of course, he did quit partly because he was becoming disgusted with many of the commercial aspects of his work. With most comics, even good ones, the collections get stale after a few. Watterson's collections dont. There are a dozen or so C&H compilations/collections, but you wont be dissapointed with owning the whole shebang, especially since Watterson frequently did a lot of extra work to ensure that each collection had something new to offer. Even without this extra stuff, Watterson's body of work is extensive enought to warrant owning all these collections. He was steadily cranking out great material for a decade or so, and if you are like me you will be reading some C&H weekly for as long as you are on this earth, so tons of books is not a bad thing. Basically, I wholeheartedly reccomend all the books. If you like one you will like them all. They only get better as you get to know the characters. Watterson never goes for the cheap laugh by having any of the comic's principals act out of character. As you progress through the years with C&H, and I do reccomend reading them in order, you will see how art progresses and grows when the artist is committed to excellent work. So, go get the first one, titled simply Calvin & Hobbes, and then start down the enjoyable road to making Calvin and his tiger a pleasant little chunk of your life.

CALVIN AND HOBBES RULE!
Calvin and Hobbes are the funniest comic strips ever created.Although Watterson has retired and does not write them anymore, it's still great to have the collections.

"Something Under the Bed is Drooling" is a collection of earlier Calvin and Hobbes stips.The old ones are the best, I think.Every page is guarenteed to make you laugh.The book is hillarious, and is fun to watch Calvin in action as he takes on his grumpy teacher, monsters, the deranged babysitter, the girl from next store, and of course, his aggravated parents.One of the funniest strips in the book is when Calvin is writing on a sheet of paper and Hobbes asks him what he is doing.Calvin tells him that he is writing his autobiography.Hobbes is confused and tells him that he's only six.Calvin simply answers, "I only have one sheet of paper."

With great comics like Calvin and Hobbes, no one is too old to enjoy them.I say buy them all while you still can.They're great to read over and over again.

Calvin's Tiger strikes back...
In my opinion, Bill Waterson is the greatest cartoonist I've seen. This was my very first C & H book and I thoroughly enjoyed it: one of the best. Unfortunately, Mr. Waterson has retired from cartooning, and Calvin & Hobbes is no more - one of the saddest tragedies of the century. Inthis book and many others, he could magically bring the cartoon to life, asonly few others could do (Jim Henderson and Charles Schulz among them).Definitely worthwhile, gives a whole lot of laughs and perhaps a new viewof life. I will always love Calvin and Hobbes as great cartoon charactersand admire Bill Waterson for his talent.

Five stars, easy. ... Read more
