In one of the stories Calvin remarks that, "Someday I'll write my own philosophy book."
It's safe to say that within this book are some of the most profound, funny and perfect Sunday comic panels around. The magic of Calvin and Hobbes is greatly demonstrated and the side notes and introduction from Bill Waterson add to the layers of intelligence and maturity only something as brilliant as this could have. Well done sir.

I love Sunday comics, and seeing the explanations for some of these was interesting (seeing the very last one was a little sad, though).

Este fantástico volumen aborda el proceso creativo de Bill Watterson para conseguir que tanto Calvin como Hobbes fueran personajes queridísimos por todos. Un paseo interesante en cuanto a ilustración, distribución de viñetas e ideas fantásticas que compartir. Sin duda, imprescindible para los amantes de las historias gráficas.

In the prologue of Sunday Pages 1985-1995, Bill Watterson tells of his love for the Sunday funnies. The extra space given allowed for more storytelling, or for bigger laughs, as if he needed the help.
If you enjoy Calvin and Hobbes at all, this should be a part of your collection. It's the comic strip equivalent of a Greatest Hits album.

Había leído a Calvin y Hobbes cuando salían en el suplemento dominical de El País o de El Mundo, lo verdad es que no recuerdo cuál de ellos era. Siempre me gustó y regalé este tomo hace tiempo tras verlo por encima. Ahora me lo han regalado a mí.
Se lee en una sentada, es una recopilación para una exposición que luego se ha editado como libro. Incluye el original sin colorear y en inglés y luego la versión final coloreada y en español. Igualmente, muchas de las tiras incluyen una pequeña reseña del propio autor.
No es de 5 estrellas por ser corto y saber a poco. Ya no me quedan muchas excusas para ir a por más Calvin y Hobbes.

Bought it last night at B&N for my parents. Basically an intro by Bill Watterson and 36 original Sunday comics - not inked - with their inked versions from the papers.
Nothing new really, but some of the insight was neat. Worth the $7 I paid for it, certainly. And it's a C&H book released in 2001, so I figured I should add it to my dad's collection.
