Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons

"Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons" by Bill Watterson is a collection of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. They tell a long story of how Calvin created a snow goon that he brought to life which figured out that it could make snow goons itself. The snow goon then started to make an army of snow goons that Calvin and Hobbes had to take out.

This was my first foray into the Calvin and Hobbes scene and I was stunned. Bill Watterson must be a genius because the depth of these comics is amazing. Calvin is a immensely lovable character and his moral real/imaginary sidekick Hobbes is a treat as well. Watching the dynamic between Calvin and his parents provides for some gut-busting entertainment. I was sad to learn that Watterson refuses to license the characters out to anyone. I would love to see a Calvin and Hobbes animation... but maybe it is for the best. In any case, tweens will eat up the delicious, relate-ability coming from these comics.
