The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book by Bill Watterson

You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. On the unspoken truth behind the education systemĬalvin: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!Ĭalvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction. (NOTE: Check out Part II: Sixteen MORE Things Calvin and Hobbes Said Better Than Anyone Else)Ĭalvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.Ĭalvin: Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. So here, in no particular order, is a selection of Calvin and Hobbes quotes that nail everything from the meaning of life to special underwear. I’m not saying that you should take moral and philosophical guidance from the inventor of Calvinball (a game that runs on chaos theory), but you could do much worse. His comic strip managed to infuse wondering (and wandering) on a cosmic scale into an ageless world of lazy Sunday afternoons, snow goons, and harassed babysitters. And when I sober up, I usually think exactly the same as Calvin and Hobbes.īill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes ran between 19.

In my more giddy moments I think that a simple comic strip featuring Calvin, a preternaturally bright six year-old, and Hobbes, his imaginary tiger friend, features some of the most lucid sentences committed to print. White, the perfect sentence is one from which nothing can be added or removed. The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book provides many lazy Sunday afternoons of smiles and laughter. Watterson engaged readers of all ages with the seemingly endless imagination of Calvin, tempered by the more thoughtful Hobbes. Readers will delight in pages enlivened with the bright color images of this precocious pair embroiled in all kinds of predicaments. The enlarged format of full-color Sunday illustrations provides more room for all the action and imagination inherent in each Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Whether visiting other planets as Spaceman Spiff, transmogrifying into a dangerous dinosaur, or just hanging around with Hobbes, Calvin's adventures are a showcase for the masterful art of Bill Watterson. In The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book their friendship endures in a full-color collection of Sunday cartoons and original art done for the book, all fit for a lazy Sunday afternoon. The magical friendship shared by Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes endeared them to millions of fans.
