Adventures with "the incurable weirdness poster child"

One of the funniest collections of comics ever!
This is one of the best Calvin and Hobbes books. Bill writes about a 6 year boy who, with his imagination, brings his stuffed tiger to life and in this book a snowman, too. The snowman makes other snowmen and calvin takes care of this in his own funny way, though his parents never believe him.
Bill Watterson is one of the best comic writers ever. His writing demonstrates what every kid must have thought about at Calvin's age. I think Bill should not have stopped writing Sunday comics. We shall all miss them.

The book kicks off with two stories. Calvin gets a typical kid's disease. The next story takes place at the dinner table, which, with Calvin, is asking for trouble. Family values are expressed and ...
