What happens when bath time becomes a Yukon expedition—or school avoidance turns into interplanetary travel?

The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes is a must-have treasury for fans of Bill Watterson’s legendary comic strip.

(spanning May 24, 1987 to December 4, 1988), including both black-and-white dailies and full-color Sundays. It also features a full-color story unique to this collection.
