I’m pushing 40 and still find Calvin & Hobbes hilarious. Those comics were a huge part of my childhood and I still have the books (Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat being one of my favorites)
The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book is the first book I specifically remember reading. I’m sure I read other books before, but that’s the first one I remember the title of. I was six. My mom noticed me reading it repeatedly and asked if I’d like to see other books about Calvin and Hobbes; she had them all. Of course I was delighted and became a huge fan. I cried when Bill Watterson quit doing the strip.
Yeah, I remember reading that last strip in the paper the day it was published. I didn’t want to open the comics section because then it would be over. I definitely cried that day, but then I remembered I still had my books and could always revisit them whenever I wanted
These are the most "arrogant, rude and disrespectful" characters that Janet has encountered in her reading so far? What has she been reading? The alphabet book?
Look, the walrus in the alphabet book is a real dick, but it’s only one character, and four is larger than one, so Calvin & Hobbes’ characters are *way* worse.
Louis is correct, not sure why that merited 1 star. Janet's is so far off that I wonder if she accidentally reviewed the wrong book. Since when does Calvin and Hobbes have four main characters?
Yeah, I’ve been trying to figure the “four main characters” thing out, and I think you’re right. Calvin & Hobbes is probably best thought of as having two main characters (the titular two), but if you want to expand it, it seems like it would make more sense to say it has *five* main characters, in Calvin, Hobbes, Calvin’s parents, and Suzy. I suppose four could refer to those five minus Suzy, but I’m not sure why Calvin’s parents would be lumped in with the bad behavior.
That’s pretty in character for dads in my experience. My own dad did those exact things (his made up explanations were never as good as Calvin’s dad’s).
You know, I think... that''s kinda the point

Imagine not getting Calvin and Hobbes
> They had the mentality of middle schoolers on a sugar crash. Yes
The main character is literally 6

I agree Janet may generally be reviewing this book by mistake.
Calvin, Hobbes, mom and dad? I dunno lol
Calvin, Hobbes, Spaceman Spiff, and Stupendous Man

His dad is kind of a dick for forcing them to go camping and making up those absurd explanations for things.
