When cartoonist Bill Watterson announced that his phenomenally
popular cartoon strip would be discontinued on the last day of
1995, Calvin and Hobbes fans throughout the world went into
mourning. Fans have learned to survive - despite the absence of the
boy and his tiger in the daily newspaper. Now, like the wave of a
sweet memory; comes one last chance to experience Calvin and
Hobbes, in its final collection. Like the thirteen extraordinarily
successful Watterson books that came before it, this volume
promises to deliver all the satisfaction of visiting its characters
once more. Calvin fans will be able to see their favorite mischief
maker stir it up with his furry friend, long-suffering parents,
classmate Susie Derkins, school teacher Miss Wormwood, and Rosalyn
the baby-sitter. This collection, including full-color Sundays, has
it all: Calvin-turned-firefly waking Hobbes with his flashlight
glow; courageous Spaceman Spiff rocketing through alien galaxies as
he battles Dad-turned-Bug-Being; and Calvin''s always inspired
snowman art. There''s no better way for Watterson fans to savor once
again the special qualities of their favorite strip.
