Originally published in 1991 (there’s no dating for the strips themselves but Hobbes mentions at one point going into a new decade, so I assume 1989 into 1990), this is another excellent collection of Calvin & Hobbes with a mixture of panels and the Sunday full pages. There’s a great deal to like and my highlights included dealing with bullies when Moe steals Calvin’s truck, misadventures with Rosalyn, Calvin wishing he had more friends, Dad’s wisdom and wind-ups (colour pictures, Christmas trees and the theory of relativity) and telling the lovely bedtime story, gravity reversal, spider pie, the duplicator (made from the old transmogrifier), in the snow, bullied into baseball and, of course, the joys of Calvinball, as well as the wonderfully touching Christmas Eve poem and stopping Dad working to have a family aftermoon in the snow. Funny, occasionally melancholic, often unexpectedly moving and, above all else, beautifully observed, this is an excellent read that I highly recommend.

It was an 11th birthday present for my godson Max who is already a big Calvin and Hobbes fan. I shall of course be giving him more like this!
