The Complete Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
5.0
So many good memories, so much fun going back into it with this marvelous boxed set I bought last year and have take a good part of the year reading a couple of strips or pages each day.
This was my favorite comic series as a kid and I was almost afraid to go back into it as an adult and not liking it. No need! This was as good if not more. Those comic, that humor style has so many layers that it was fun in a complete different level. I saw the situation differently, the humor, the social criticism, every felt new and strangely actual! Watterson was avantgardist in many ways when you look at what he writes and talk about n term of social issues 30 years back.
The boxed sets in itself was great! Good quality, well done and totally worth it if you are a fan and would like something nice to reread but also keep and maybe past on one day.
I'm so glad I buy and read it and now I'm even a bit sad it's done. I might reread it all one day, maybe in another 25 years or so and see how it will feel then!
