Calvin and Hobbes Comics

This is the complete set of the "Calvin and Hobbes" comics by Bill Watterson. They were published in newspapers for about 6 years, give or take, and they were very, very popular. The comics are about a 6 year old boy in first grade named Calvin who's best friend is Hobbes, a stuffed tiger to everyone BUT him. The tiger is a love-obsessed, instinctive, and hard-to-hate thing who's main goal is to sneak up on Calvin unawares. Hobbes is the well-behaved one, wheras Calvin is always trying to skip school, misbehave, be a smart mouth, torture his parents, demented baby-sitter, and most of all, the girl down the street, Susie. Calvin hates homework, and Hobbes usually ends up doing it for him, with disasterous answers that Calvin is totally ignorant of. The whole series is hilarious because it shows that nobody is as ignorant or misbehaved as Calvin, who only manages to be good come Christmas. And yet, he still asks Santa for a flame-thrower, rocket-launcher, chainsaw, and nuclear bomb every single year, along with numerous other items resulting in a 100 page Christmas list. He never gets any of it, but still hasn't caught on to the fact that Santa doesn't exist, although he has gone within the boundaries of doubt. Calvin is a demented little kid, and if he wasn't, he probably wouldn't have risen to national fame, supported by his best friend in the world, Hobbes.
