  • I want to buy a Calvin and Hobbes book for the child, is there a best one to get, or do I start from the beginning and if so, is "Thereby Hangs a Tail" the first?

  • IIRC beyond maybe the first cartoon where they meet, it doesn't really matter what order they go in.

    Haven't read it in about 20 years though. Good idea, used to love them.

  • The anniversary book is great and has notes from Bill Waterson which they can revisit when they want to read that kind of thing

    I vaguely remember discovering Calvin and Hobbes as a kid. My dads uncle who lived in London died and they came from his place, I don’t really remember him. I spent hours and hours reading those books though, repeatedly, for years. I got the anniversary book years after that and still loved it even though I’d read quite a few of the strips already.

  • I wouldn't start at the beginning. As abr says, the order doesn't matter so much. From memory, I used to think that 'There's Treasure Everywhere' is the best one.
