I realize now that much of the lore my friends would tell me about Watterson likely comes from this book. Even though I was given this book as a child, I had only ever paged through reading the comics, so this was my first time reading the text. It is a different Calvin and Hobbes, in that it includes lengthy musings and reflections by the author, Bill Watterson.
It being the summertime, I felt in the mood for something carefree, and found this on my shelf. A few of my friends were obsessed with Calvin and Hobbes, and had read every book.
Calvin's adventurousness and imagination was an inspiration for me and my friends. It was in this venue that I first came across Calvin and Hobbes. I would sometimes get access to compilations of comic strips the though (Garfield, Peanuts, etc.). My parents didn't subscribe to the newspaper, so I didn't have access to the comic strips as a kid.
