Bill Waterson is argudably one of the best comic writers out there. Even through his retirement, he has made great books of past comics featuring his Calvin and Hobbes characters. I laugh and laugh at these comics he creates and I sometimes wonder how he comes up with such brilliant ideas sometimes with the storylines of some of the strips.

Calvin, one of his best known characters, is the trouble-making kid in the school. He is funny and imaginative and likes to make funa and games with his "real" pet friend Hobbes. Through the comics, you can see the relationship between a stuffed animal and a human.

In this comic though, Hobbes "comes to life" in Calvins eyes. The things that Calvin can sometimes get involved in is so hilarious and sometimes out of this world.

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.

All of Bill Waterson's comic books are very well done and very professional. His work is his life and it shows the time and consideration it took to make these characters come to life. Thank you Mr. Waterson for creating such a great comic and thatnk you people for reading my review!

The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Collection

The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Collection is not only a real good book, but it also had me rolling on my sides with laughter. One reason it is my favorite book is because it is REAL funny. Calvin and his stuffed tiger get into so many adventures, all having a humorous twist at the end. Another reason that I liked the book is because it interests me. Every comic strip I read, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The last reason I favor The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Collection is because it inspired me to start animating cartoons and comic strips. In this book I saw different types of cartooning that I liked. I am glad that I had chance to read The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes Collection I can't wait to read more!

Ok. So I will not further my education or use any of the years that I spent getting first my undergraduate degree in Communications from Oglethorpe University or my Masters degree in Library Science from Clark Atlanta University; however, who cares? With this book in question, i.e., The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes : Includes Cartoons from Yukon Ho and Weirdos from Another Planet by Bill Watterson, I will have hours worth of fun and the interaction between Calvin and his toy tiger Hobbes is simply hysterically amusing. I especially like the times when Calvin's dad tries to help Calvin build some character; these scenes are hilarious since we all know that they at the time seem like punishment rather a parent caring for their child.

I thought that this was a really cute movie, one parents can watch with their children. A must for parents!

I stumbled across this movie on TV. It was so thoroughly enjoying that I have given numerous copies out since watching it. It's especially fun since living in the UK where royalty is a way of life and knowing how the British love their dogs. It's a fun movie.....definitely for viewing by the entire family.

Philip Spink's great masterpiece of family fun! Nice mix of characters that worked as a family to put the whole movie together. A very enjoyable working experience and one I'll share for years to come (I was an extra in it- A butler). Way to go Cast and Crew! A must see for everyone!...

Does tracking in our public schools isolate children, keeping them from reaching their potential? How do first generation, black immigrants handle tracking? These are some of the questions R. Patrick Solomon attempts to answer in his ground breaking book, Black Resistance in High School.

Useing multicultural education theory from one of the pioneers, John U. Ogbu, Salomon shows how first generation West Indies immigrants rebel against school authority in Toronto Canada. Salomon's style of ethnographic writing combined with controversial theory make for an eye opening read.

Black Resistance in High School is a must for every student of education and anthropology.
