In The Revenge of the Baby-Sat, readers can relish the opportunity to dwell once more in the enduring reminder of life as a child today. Watterson's vibrant characterization of event and personality, deft artistic presentation, and whimsical perspective have cultivated an unwavering affection for his characters. Through the adventures of this engaging pair, the limits of our imaginations were challenged as we enjoyed accompanying Calvin and Hobbes as they traveled through time, transmogrified themselves, stirred up trouble. Here we have the up and downs of winter, vengeance against Rosalyn the babysitter, a propeller beanie, unstoppable hiccups, another boring week of camping, a little incident with Calvin's parents' car, and a chilling break-in of the family's house."Calvin and Hobbes provided an exhilarating blend of fantasy, sophistication, pungent humor and superb drawing that was dazzling." -The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio With keen insight, Bill Watterson depicted life through the eyes of a child in Calvin and Hobbes-with all the inherent fun and frustrations.
There are more adventures, and more significant discussions between the characters. Hobbes, wisely, tries to opt out of the operation. The title of this book refers to the classic sequence of strips in which Calvin plots revenge on his "demonic" babysitter by kidnapping her homework and threatening to flush it down the toilet. This is the fifth installment of the "Calvin and Hobbes" series, and it just gets better every repeated reading. "The Revenge of the Baby-Sat" offers such adventures as that in a funny and entertaining way.
They're funny, creative, and are always getting into some sort of situation that could just about get them grounded for life. No matter how many times I read them, I can never get tired of Calvin and Hobbes.
