Old threads[edit]

What about Calvin and Hobbes Books in other languages? I think the french language calvin and hobbes books are different from the english ones, at least in their titles and the strips they contain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.170.91.206 (talk) 16:30, 15 May 2006

These books were published in the UK:

Calvin and Hobbes Thereby Hangs a Tale

Does this mean that Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons is not included in any of the larger collections? Because if so that's the only one I'm missing. Zaklog 20:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a date inconsistancy between the references for There's Treasure Everywhere and It's A Magical World. The former says that some March strips are repeated in the latter, while the later says that some April strips are repeated in the former. Which is it - duplicated March strips or duplicated April strips? Since both books cover parts of March *and* April of 1995, perhaps strips from both months are duplicated?

Link?[edit]

Is it weird that this page doesn't link to Calvin and Hobbes? Can't find a good place to link it though. Borisblue 09:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.jpg[edit]

Image:The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Complete Calvin and Hobbes" hardcover set NOT complete[edit]

From a review on Amazon.com:

"Let me first say that Calvin and Hobbes is by far my favorite cartoon strip of all time. Even better than Far Side. When I first heard that this complete set was coming out I was thrilled! Finally all of Bill Watterson's work would be available in one deluxe book set! This is why I was kind of upset after really going through the set to find out that it's really not complete. It's very close...but definitely not complete.

Sure this set contains all the comics that ran in the newspapers, plus the cover art for the books, and various other special pictures/poems Bill drew for the series... but if you check out some of the older Calvin & Hobbes collections that were released, you'll find a whole bunch of really funny one-picture strips mixed in with the comic strips that are not included in this set. These were never put in the newspapers, they were probably made specifically for the older collections just to fill up space. For example, one of these one-picture strips featured in the very first Calvin and Hobbes collection shows a terrified Calvin in the back of car his Mom is driving holding up a big sign to the other drivers that says he's been kidnapped. Hilarious stuff...which makes me wonder why it wasn't included in this "COMPLETE" Calvin and Hobbes set.

Then there's also a bunch of pictures at the beginning and end of certain Calving and Hobbes collections that didn't make it to these sets. For instance, at the very end of the collection "Scientific Progress Goes Boink", there is a large picture showing Susie looking down on the sidewalk shocked to see a crude drawing of herself, while Calvin and Hobbes are laughing behind a tree. Why wasn't this included?! "

Does anyone know of a list of the books needed to get all of them? 75.84.238.18 (talk) 09:13, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Publish date[edit]

In the table each book has a published date. They dont match the publish date listed on the Publisher's website, which would assume is most accurate. Robservations247 (talk) 21:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
