Purchase options and add-ons

Zounds! Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, the ferocious tiger Hobbes, and the rest of Calvin's riotous imagination are all included in The Days Are Just Packed.

Calvin, the self-proclaimed "Boy of Destiny," continues to save the universe with his alter egos, Spaceman Spiff and Stupendous Man, at least until Miss Wormwood or his mother bring him back to reality. Susie, Calvin's nemesis and love interest, remains Calvin's favorite target. And when he's not recovering from a ferocious tiger attack, Calvin creates hideous snowmen, plays a moral cat-and-mouse game with Santa, conducts his infamous Dad polls, and combats the monsters under his bed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"At some level, all American childhoods are the same, which probably explains our lasting love affair with Calvin and Hobbes." (Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post)

"Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes,' easily one of the most beloved comic strips of all time..." (Bryan Hood, New York Post)

"A student of comics, Watterson drew from an eclectic set of influences...The result was a strip that was vibrant, accessible, and beautiful." (Jake Rossen, Mental Floss)

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT COMICS
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016

Why I purchased: I used to reread the same Calvin and Hobbes book when I was a child, after I found it at my grandma's house. When I first remembered of my childhood delights of reading Calvin and Hobbes, I decided that I would have to order any book in that series. This was my second book that I purchased and I still enjoy these comics as much as I did as a child.

What I love: I love how this book is so high quality! I won't go into too much detail of the contents of the book because Calvin and Hobbes are amazing comics. If you wish to start your child off with comics, and don't want to worry about inappropriate content, this is perfect! The vocabulary is high for a six-year-old character, but that's what taught me new words back then, after I got tired of not knowing what some of the jokes meant. This is the same book that you could pay extra money for at Barnes and Noble. It's super richly bound and prepared to last a life time.

What I don't love: I love everything!

Conclusion: If you don't want to spend so much at Barnes and Noble and you want to get something clean for your child to read, and still learn from, then Calvin and Hobbes should be your go to! These books are high quality with timeless content. If you read these as a kid, just buy them again! Reread them because it's like reading them new each time you go around. I totally recommend this purchase for new and old readers of Calvin and Hobbes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cartoon series that ever was or ever will be!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

Bill Watterson is a God-given genius! He’s not only an artist, but, most importantly, a wise philosopher and critic of the world in which we find ourselves. He retired (regrettably, for his fans) years ago, but his work is still relevant to today’s world. I love the deluded little Calvin, Hobbes (Calvin’s sane and wise side), and his poor, sweet parents. I have most of the series. Took one of the books to my fifth-grade classes (five per day). They wore it completely out—not one mark of graffiti on the whole book, which showed their appreciation and love for it. The wear came from the handling of hundreds of little hands. Thank you, Bill Watterson. Wish you had more of this pure gold in you.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015

Funny, intelligent, and heart-warming; the adventures that Calvin and Hobbes have together are classic. Like the digital editions of _Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat_ and _Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons_, this one has the ability to zoom and pan on the pages. This highly-appreciated feature allows one to fully experience the details of one of the best comics ever created, particularly with the more dense and lush full-color Sunday edition panels. The are a few strips that are "duplicates" between the other three books I've read and reviewed (_The Essential Calvin and Hobbes_, _Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat_, and _Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons_), but with treasuries such as this, that's not entirely unexpected and the "duplicates" are still funny. ;) I do still wish one could bookmark favorite strips for easy revisit later, but that's my only quibble. Overall, an excellent, highly-recommended digital volume.

My favorites when I was growing up. I looked forward to the comic section of the newspaper every day back in the day when people were still getting newspaper delivered.

Now my son is reading these. Anyone who doesn't give Calvin and Hobbes books a 5 star hates children.

Love the book. I own it in print also, but love having it on my Kindle Fire for when I need a little lift. My only disappointment is that occasionally the pages take a while to load and large black bands appear on the top and bottom. Except for that I would have given it maximum stars.

A really good book to read. Since he's a kid the views and opinions of Calvin are frank and honest and his mischiefs and adventures will remind you of your childhood.

This is my first time reading Calvin and Hobbes, but I'm going to read other books in the series as well.
