Out of all the Calvin and Hobbes books I have reserved for the really hard times in life, like a self-help book that comforts, The Revenge of the Baby-Sat is the one I turn to the most. Collecting strips from December 1988 to September 1989 (which is when I had just arrived in a funky Portland, trying to find my way), this volume still makes me smile and practice Rule 62: Don't take yourself so dang seriously!

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Calvin and Hobbes provided an exhilarating blend of fantasy, sophistication, pungent humor and superb drawing that was dazzling." --The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio

With keen insight, Bill Watterson depicted life through the eyes of a child in Calvin and Hobbes--with all the inherent fun and frustrations. Through the adventures of this engaging pair, the limits of our imaginations were challenged as we enjoyed accompanying Calvin and Hobbes as they traveled through time, transmogrified themselves, stirred up trouble.

Watterson's vibrant characterization of event and personality, deft artistic presentation, and whimsical perspective have cultivated an unwavering affection for his characters. In The Revenge of the Baby-Sat, readers can relish the opportunity to dwell once more in the enduring reminder of life as a child today.
