Powells.com Staff Pick
Along with The Far Side and Bloom County, Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes (briefly) revitalized the comics page for much of the '80s and '90s. Sadly, nothing has since come close, making this the perfect time to revisit Watterson's oeuvre. Mixing the pathos of Peanuts with the imagination of Little Nemo in Slumberland, plus indelible characters and sharp, beautiful artwork reminiscent of Pogo, Calvin & Hobbes is a feast for the eyes and mind. Watterson's cast lives and breathes on the page, and his stories and artwork transcend the confines of the four-panel strip, opening the form to whole worlds of possibility. If only someone new would come along to pick up Watterson's gauntlet. Recommended by Bolton, Powells.com

Synopsis:
Calvin is a rambunctious six-year-old whose manic antics threaten world peace. Hobbes is his stuffed tiger who comes alive when adults arent around. The saga of their daily exploits won cartoonist Bill Watterson the coveted Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. Something Under the Bed Is Drooling is a jewel.
