Weirdos from Another Planet! (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798260500248)

From interplanetary escapes to snowman invasions, Weirdos from Another Planet! is packed with laugh-out-loud comics and signature Calvin and Hobbes chaos--perfect for fans of wild imagination and childhood fun.

Calvin and Hobbes take imagination to bold new heights in Weirdos from Another Planet!, with comics spanning February to December 1988. Calvin launches the G.R.O.S.S. Club to torment Susie, pilots imaginary spaceships on cosmic adventures, and channels alter-egos like Tracer Bullet to battle the everyday boredom of childhood. Mischief, wit, and invention fuel every page.

Black-and-white dailies and full-color Sunday strips showcase Watterson's expressive art, sharp wordplay, and growing philosophical depth. Outdoor escapades mix with reflections on big ideas, while playful satire pokes fun at school, chores, and family life. Highlighting Calvin's limitless creativity and his enduring bond with Hobbes, this collection captures both the humor and heart that make the strip timeless.
