Calvin’s inventions backfire hilariously in Scientific Progress Goes “Boink”—a popular collection full of duplicator mishaps, space-time adventures, and classic Calvin and Hobbes chaos.

Calvin’s duplicator and wild experiments take center stage in Scientific Progress Goes “Boink”, spanning September 1989 to July 1990. Multiple Calvins, time-travel escapades, and cardboard-box inventions fuel nonstop hilarity for readers who love funny comics, nostalgic humor, and character-driven storytelling.

Stupendous Man, Spaceman Spiff, and Tracer Bullet make standout appearances, while snowball wars, mutant armies, and spirited debates about science, ethics, and creativity push Calvin’s imagination to its limits. Together, these stories highlight Watterson’s unmatched ability to mix slapstick, satire, and thoughtful reflection into unforgettable adventures.

A perfect mix of humor, science, and imagination, featuring the iconic “duplicator” storyline with multiple Calvins
Expressive black-and-white dailies and vibrant Sunday strips showcase Watterson’s humor, artistry, and philosophical insight
Unique to this volume: The Yukon Song, original material created especially for the collection, adding playful charm and clever commentary

For existing Calvin and Hobbes fans and those new to the series, Scientific Progress Goes “Boink” is a must-have: Watch Calvin flip the switch and see what happens when curiosity gets completely out of control.
