Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection (5/5 stars)
Now available for the first time as an e-book!
In Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, Calvin suffers a host of hardships. He gets attacked by his new two-wheeler bike. Hobbes gets kidnapped by Susie, a slimy girl. His father cancels Calvin’s personal TV network. Self-multiplying deranged mutant killer monster snow goons threaten to take over the yard.
And if that wasn’t enough, the ethicated duplicate of Calvin’s good side wreaks havoc with his reputation by doing good deeds.
Yet Calvin conquers all with his irrepressible spirit and a little help from alter-egos Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, and Tracer Bullet, private eye. Readers are delighted by Calvin’s resourceful wit, which applies to everything from philosophical speculations to attempts to outsmart his parents.
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection (5/5 stars)
Now available for the first time as an e-book!
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat chronicles another segment of the multifarious adventures of this wild child and his faithful, but skeptical, friend. If the best cartoons compel readers to identify themselves within the funny frames, then all who enjoy Calvin and Hobbes are creative, imaginative, and … bad, bad, bad! Calvin, the irascible little boy with the stuffed tiger who comes to life are a pair bound for trouble.
Boring school lessons become occasions for death-defying alien air battles, speeding snow sled descents elicit philosophical discussions on the meaning of life, and Hobbe’s natural inclination to pounce on his little friend wreaks havoc on Calvin’s sense of security. Calvin’s the kid we all wish we’d been. Sassy, imaginative, far more verbal than his parents can manage, Calvin is the quintessential bad boy — and the boy we love to see. He terrorizes little Susie, offers “Candid Opinions” from a neighborhood stand, and questions his parents’ authority. “What assurance do I have that your parenting isn’t screwing me up?” he demands.
Calvin and Hobbes manages to say what needs to be said about childhood and life: “Eww, mud,” says Calvin. “Look at this gooshy, dirty, slimy, thick, wet mud … Bleecch … Talk about a kid magnet!”
The Days Are Just Packed – Calvin and Hobbes series Book 8 (5/5 stars)
Now available for the first time as an e-book!
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.
