# The Essential Calvin and Hobbes: A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury Volume 1 - Hardcover

by **Bill Watterson** (Author), **Charles M. Schulz** (Foreword by)

**Beginning with the day Hobbes sprang into Calvin's tuna fish trap, the first two _Calvin and Hobbes_ collections, _Calvin and Hobbes_ and _Something Under The Bed Is Drooling_, are brought together in this treasury. Including black-and-white dailies and color Sundays, _The Essential Calvin and Hobbes_ also features an original full-color 16-page story.**

Perhaps the most brilliant comic strip ever created, _Calvin and Hobbes_ continues to entertain with dazzling cartooning and tremendous humor.  
Bill Watterson's _Calvin and Hobbes_ has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), _Calvin and Hobbes_ will astound and delight you.
