Amazon.com Review An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction:
"I’ve loved comic strips as long as I can remember. As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I don’t even like riding in elevators. I kept my options open until seventh grade, but when I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made. There is great personal satisfaction in attending to detail and quality, and I remain very proud of the standards the strip met day after day. I also liked the responsibility of knowing that, succeed or fail, it was all my own doing. This approach kept the strip very honest and personal--everything having to do with Calvin and Hobbes expressed my own ideas, my own values, my own way. I wrote every word, drew every line, and painted every color. It’s a rare gift to find such fulfilling work and I tried to show my appreciation by giving the strip everything I had to offer."

"Day 03 - A book that makes you really happy
Calvin and Hobbes has always made me happy, and anyone who has read it should know why without my having to explain. For those who haven't read it (shame!) it's hilarious, thoughtful, genuinely human, and has brilliant artwork throughout.
Despite my not having a copy of this set, I do own every book in the series.
Alternative choice: Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, which is my favorite book to read during summer."
