What it is:
The absolutely complete and definitive Calvin and Hobbes collection.
Why we love it:
Ah, the Sunday funnies, how we miss you. Now that we (like many Americans) get all our news online, we miss out on the chance to pour over the comic pages on a lazy weekend morning. Frankly, we're so busy we miss out on lazy weekend mornings for the most part. A lot of people may be missing the lazy mornings and the funny pages, and while you can't give them back their Sundays, you can give them back their favorite comics. Calvin and Hobbes (pictured here) along with many of the other three-panel classics have been compiled into these beautiful collector's edition sets. This is a big step up from cutting out a good strip and taping it to the fridge, and a comic fan will love it. The complete adventures of the irrepressible Calvin and his buddy Hobbes are collected in this hefty volume that can double as a doorstop or bug killer. We think the best joy will come from actually reading it though, and we bet your recipient will agree.
Who we'd give it to:
Sunday funnies fans, Calvin and Hobbes lovers, families with young kids, stuffed tigers.
