"Muchas smooches por el conkisstador!"

I read that line when it came out in the paper, lo those many years ago, and I still love it! So fun to see it again in this collection! I love C&H and this collection just reaffirms that love! The snow "men" on these pages still tickle my funny bone, just as they did the first time I saw them! Maybe I'll reread my whole collection! :-) ( )

"Why are you digging a hole?"
"I'm looking for buried treasure!"
"What have you found?"
"A few dirty rocks, a weird root, and some disgusting grubs."
"On your first try??"
"There's treasure everywhere!" ( )

I'm 90% sure this is the best Calvin & Hobbes collection I've read yet. I no longer know if I enjoy the strip more the more I encounter it, or if I'm actually reading them in order of increasing cleverness. Either way, I laughed loudly at something on every page, and was wistful about youth every fourth (or so) page. I would knock the other books back half a star (if this site did half-stars) to note this collection's (possible) superiority. Or I'll just give it an honorary sixth star. ( )
