Calvin and Hobbes off on another whirlwind adventure! After deciding he can't love with his family's rules any longer, Calvin decides to secede from his home with Hobbes in tow; their destination? Yukon Ho!

The third collection of the wonderful Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. Full of hilarious, thoughtful, insightful, cynical, non-plussed and surreal moments as Calvin explores the reality of death, life, and the average existence of a 6 year old boy in 1980's America. Reactions can range from laugh-out-loud to subtle nods of agreement at this brilliant reflection of life. Both a time-capsule from that time and still relevant, if you only read one comic strip, read this.
Features the eponymous tale of Calvin seceding from his family for the Yukon, and related song.

I want to like Calvin and Hobbes. I like the art. There is always some clever writing. Susie is always well written. But Calvin is such a brat. And not a smart one at that. I always feel so much sympathy for his parents. I'm just clearly not the target audience. Hobbes on the other hand. Remove Calvin from this and have it only be Hobbes, that would be an improvement. Perhaps one of the books will be more my taste. This is good but not for me. Just like if it were a horror book.

Every time I re-read one of these it's just as brilliant as the first time I read them.
