"The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" box set contains every distinct Calvin banana band Bill Watterson anytime published. Amazon
I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes. The banana band aboriginal appeared in newspapers in 1985, three years afterwards I was born, and ran for the abutting decade. The generally camp humor, the acute criticism, and the casual billow of action in this seminal banana band helped to blush abundant of my adolescent life, as it did for so abounding millions of readers of all ages.
Though Bill Watterson captivated up the alternation added than two decades ago, "Calvin and Hobbes" remains berserk accepted and absolutely pertinent today. Through the eyes of six-year-old Calvin and his old body tiger acquaintance Hobbes, we see afresh the absurdity and absurdity of so abounding aspects of circadian activity and we see added acutely the accent of simple pleasures, from a accord to a dusk to a transmogrifier box that can about-face a being into a dinosaur, owl, or clone.

A few years back, my mother beatific me a box absolute aboriginal copies of every distinct Calvin book; it angry out that over the years she had bought them in pairs, acceptance me and my brother to adore one archetype with the adventuresome carelessness — dogeared pages, agitated beverages, timberline sap from the above ache timberline arcane sessions — while attention addition archetype for our approaching amusement and/or for our accouchement (which both of us now have, for the record).
That gift, those excellent condition original volumes of every Calvin book, was one of the best anxious I anytime received.

Which is overkill, I accept it.
