![The Complete Calvin & Hobbes [ Review ]](/img/1.gif)
This is my favorite book in my collection
Calvin and Hobbes was a huge part of my upbringing! Had everything all wrapped up in one strip..adventure, fantasy, amazing humor, and heartfelt moments. To me as a kid it inspired me to use my imagination even more than I already did. Some of my favorite strips were of all the snowmen and different scenarios Calvin would put them in. I definitely need this collection on my bookshelf!!
Great vid btw!
i used to own these in paperback when i was 10 years old and enjoyed them so much. That boxed set looks great and this video is even better cuz we have Melanie to do the overview.
Well thank you sir!
Calvin and Hobbes always put a smile on my face.
Thank You.
Calvin and Hobbes is so awesome. It was my grandpa's favorite strip. That book set looks beautiful, too.
This has brought back so many memories
Yes!!!!! I want one!!!!!!!!!!
That’s cute never these read before
It was nice how you read some of the panels
Thank you for that!
That's insane! I literally pulled down my collection off the shelf this morning & started reading mine. This was the only thing that interested me enough to read as a kid. Good times!
Okay, that is a huge coincidence. It must have been... DESTINY!!!
Just got this for my friends newborn twins. I hope they enjoy them as much as I did growing up.
I have the paperback version of this box set! Love it.
that was the one I just bought ... hopefully as good as the hardback one !
The greatest collection of all time!
Awesome statue collection in your banner picture!
@@astonishingmelanie thanks! It’s funny, I forgot I had that there. The collection has vastly changed
Nice review, you gave it a really personal touch! Also liked the little effects you used like 03:05
Thanks! I’m learning how to edit!
Complete Calvin & Hobbes. Complete Peanuts. Can't go wrong with either. :)
Wow! Awesome! Thank you for sharing, Melanie! I always knew of this strip, but never read it. It is clear now that I have been missing out. There was more than just Peanuts... :)
You’re welcome, and I’m glad to share the fandom.
Nice overview, Melanie! You're doing a great job.
Thank you for the support! 🤙
Reminds me I had wanted to pick up either the paperback version or this version.
Wow great video. Thanks for your personal view as a young reader. I was in my late 20s when my local paper picked up the strip a few years after it’s debut. I was instantly drawn to the imaginary view of Calvin. My favorites were the ones that had Calvin in fear of and being attacked by Hobbes savagely.
I was on the fence about this one but you've convinced me to take the plunge, Melanie. It would be a nice addition to my small but growing box set collection.
its a greeeeeeat adition... get the big box and be really happy.
Congrats!🎈🎊🎉
That was an awesome video Melanie! Your overview was so exciting, I just loved it!!
7:51 brought back some good memories from reading that strip
This looks awesome.
I remember reading the 1st strip and thinking something new and great was starting. I was right. Even growing up with and loving Peanuts strips and books 15 years before Calvin and Hobbes started, THIS is my favorite strip of all time. ... I have the trades and later got this set when it was published. This box will never leave me. ... You did an Astonishing job presenting this book. For anyone not familiar with it, your choice of the strips and your enthusiasm and love for them conveyed all they need to know about how great this collection is. Thank you.
🥰
Read this as a youngster, bought it last year and its wonderful 👍👍 great video
I have this original one too! It's a real treasure! Had to buy this and The Complete Far Side. These were the kind of comic strips that made me really laugh out loud! Love these collections!
Omar and I were reading his Far Side box set years ago, but then we forgot to keep going!
Finally broke down and bought a copy today. Still an excellent review, Mellanie!
I came across this set in softcover at Costco for $35CAD.
This should be on the required readings list for elementary school.
Great deal!
"Exploring Calvin an Hobbes" and "C&H Sunday Pages 1985-1995" are two great additions to any Calvin and Hobbes collections. Both of the books are respective catalogues for C&H exhibitions that were at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum.
Thanks for the info! 🤙
Awesome Review Melanie, I'm glad I asked y'all about this book a few Q&As ago. I used to have some of these as a kid but don't know what happened to them. I think I'm gonna grab the paperback to save some weight,lol.
Thank you for the suggestion and the paperbacks are definitely more manageable! 🤪
Great review Melanie. I remember reading Calvin and Hobbes too. Thinking I may just have to grab this collection soon.
Hey, Melanie! Just got around to this video and I wanted to say a few things:
1) The editing was so cool! I really enjoyed it!
2) I really liked the little details you gave us like how some of it looks like strips glued on. But you putting the box set on the scale made me laugh pretty good! lol
3) I adored how much these books reminded you of your family. :)
4) You actually reading some strips was the best!! It made me feel nostalgic yet I have never read any Calvin and Hobbes. Maybe it made me miss just being read stories as a kid, but regardless it gave me some warm fuzzy feelings and much needed smile on my face. :) You absolutely killed it! Can’t wait for your next vid!
One of my better purhase. Still re-read the collection it is still fresh, funny and endearing.
Love some Calvin and Hobbes. Read these every year or every other year at New Years just a great way to start the year. So wholesome. Making me wanna double dip and get this despite already owning them all in individual trades. Great review Melanie.
What a cool tradition! Omar and I used to watch the Twilight Zone on New Years.
@@astonishingmelanie nice. Walking Distance= best twilight zone episode ever.
Yes! I've asked about this set been looking forward to this review since Omar answered!
Edit: Wait what?! 195$?? I just saw it on Amazon for 60, it is now back up to 85 (€, so maybe 110$)
Glad you liked the review! It looks like both the hardcover and the softcover boxsets are on sale. The one in the video is the hardcover, so the cheaper one is probably the paperback version.
@@astonishingmelanie That could well be, I didn't know there were two versions.
I had most of the paperbacks of Calvin and Hobbes as a child and a teen. I received an early edition of the hardback complete collection in 2007. Found out that the binding was bad, so then I got both the hardcover and softcover complete collection of this set just last year. I love Calvin and Hobbes and I will never be without it. I am also glad that Bill Watterson never sold the rights to have tv, movie, and toy products made. As such, the comics remain strong and undiluted.
You still have plenty of destiny ahead of you!
You know, I regretted saying that. It was a joke, but I do think I have plenty of destiny left as well! 😎🎉🍾🎈
Thanks for bringing me down memory lane, Melanie! I bought this HC volume when it first came out as I remember reading this strip in the papers during Watterson's ten year run. It was both my dad's and mine favorite strip next to Peanuts and Far Side. Always loved Calvin's philosophical musings and cynical whit. Always related to his sense of fantasy and adventure even when he wasn't around friends. My daughter had the pic up in her bedroom growing up where Calvin was a young man waving goodbye to Hobbes as he goes off with a little six year old girl. Reminds me of Toy Story 3. :-(
That picture would make me tear up every time I’d look at it! Wouldn’t be able to handle it. 😹
Calvin and Hobbes is a modern classic. I am specially fond of all his bizarre snowmen, and as a child i did try to copy some of them (didn't go that well)
A swedish publisher is making a swedish-translated version of this box for the moment. And i have made my pre-order of it. Hopefully it will arrive during the first quarter of next year.
That sounds awesome!
Thanks for the review! Looks like a wonderful book!
Never read this stuff as a kid.... Might need to give it a go as an adult. Thanks Melanie!
Enjoy your transitions.
Yeah, I explored the different transition options in Final Cut Pro, and I thought that one was perfect. Learning how to edit! Thanks for noticing.
I need this and I didn’t know i did. I’ve read some Calvin and Hobbs sparingly over the years and I love all the little insights in it. The past year is a perfect reason to read some Calvin and Hobbs.
I just purchased this for $40 brand new!!! I am so excited to relive my childhood stories that made me fall in love with reading.
Love Calvin and Hobbes, Far-Side, Peanuts and Bloom County. Have complete sets thus far.
The best comic strip ever. I loved it when they became paperbacks. Went and ordered this collection right away for $73. Another chunk of my childhood secured!
Congrats!🎈🍾🎉
Awesome! I loved it even more than ...... no , wait , yknowwhat I liked it.
You’re leaving me in suspense.!
This is one of the most prized things in my collection. And this is an excellent review that really does this set (and comic strip) justice :)
Oh good and thank you. 😺
Good job by you, Melanie.
Thank you! 😁
now I want this book
This is cool
💰 💰 sold
I bought this yesterday.
Cowabunga minties 🤙

You just made me want to buy this real bad. I was actually doubting if I should really go for it as it is a pretty heavy box set.
Thanks for such a thorough review of this set. I came from Amazon to look for a thorough review of the books and that's exactly what I got.
Quick question if you could answer, how far superior is the Hardcover Box Set to the paperback set? I saw the paperback set has 4 books instead of 3 but is substantially cheaper.
I have the big box with the four paper cover books, its the same content. Definitly a must have for any collector. I'll be waiting for uncanny Omar's review of the great Mafalda.
The paperbacks are definitely more manageable.
I loves these books growing up! It seems like there's a lot of wasted paper and space on margins in this collection though
16:17 What's that one the other page with Calvin meets an alien? I don't think I remember that one!
OH MY GOSH ANOTHER MELANIE REVIEW! :))) I liked and I’m commenting for algorithm, but I actually haven’t watched this yet. :( Buuuuuut I’m really looking forward to this because your vids are my favorite.
Thanks dude for the support!!😸
I recommend paperback version. It has 4 books instead of 3. They are lighter, are easier to flip and its cheaper. Also heard hardcover has bad binding and pages start to fall out eventualy. Maybe someone can confirm this.
I think they corrected this issue. I can’t confirm it because i don’t own the box set but i read some reviews saying it’s not glued anymore.
Arrgh, should stop watching your videos. Just gone off and bought the complete collection though I went for the paperback version. Love C&H (bought many of the separate volumes over the years) but not enough to spend out on the HB especially as I have spent too much on Conan omnis, french graphic novels and just generally too many DC / Marvel epics / omnis. Thanks as ever for doing these video reviews
The paperbacks are definitely more manageable. 😎🤓🧐
@@astonishingmelanie Yes, I think that will be the case - not sure the house could support the weight of the hardback set either
What's the difference between this and the 60$ one?
I’ve seen on Amazon how the boxsets are in sale, so I’m going to assume the $60 you’re referring to is the soft cover version of the collection in a box set as opposed to the hardcover version in the video.
I mentioned Calvin and Hobbes on threads and crickets ☹️
I already own this, why am I watching?
Do you think these hardcover volumes are too unwieldy for younger kids?
Not at all.
Your so cool
Nmc Patreon $1.
get proper fucking bookmarks. great video
Thank you.
Too much salt in the pee.
I had a Hobbes stuffed animal as a kid.
To the world, it was a stuffed tiger toy, but to me, it Hobbes.
Funny how imagination works differently to different people.
