The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book

“There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”  Calvin & Hobbes is unbeatable! “The Calvin & Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book” is an all-color collection of some of the Sunday strips that Bill Watterson created. It is a visually stunning book. It pops. People forget that Watterson was a gifted artist, and a very talented atmospheric illustrator. Especially appealing (visually) are the strips featuring the Intrepid Spaceman Spiff and his interplanetary adventures. The text also features all 4 seasons, so you see a variety of Watterson’s visual talent on display as well. In a short “Afterward” Bill Watterson laments the “retrograde evolution” of the Sunday comics as an institution and art from. Considering that he published this book in 1989, I can only imagine what he would say today. It makes me a little sad and more than a little nostalgic as I have fond memories of reading the Sunday comics as a kid. I enjoyed this collection. You cannot go wrong with Bill Watterson and Calvin & Hobbes.
