![]() ![]() If you only have the black and white collections, you have the essential mechanics of the stories but you are missing a lot of the fun that Watterson’s colouring adds to emotion and other narrative elements. ![]() The Sunday pages are where Watterson’s interplay between characters reaches its wackiest extents, where he can use an extended sequence of panels to really explore an idea. These strips feature lots of the nonsensical conversations, transformations, abrupt switches in style and changes of viewpoint that are the result of Calvin’s incredible imagination. Watterson relishes the freedom of complete pages that he can lay out any way he wants, to draw lavish, giant-sized, extravagantly coloured panels of alien worlds and gloopy multi-eyed alien bugs who stand between Spaceman Spiff and freedom. There is a special extra for this collection: the book begins with a new 10-page adventure for Calvin as Spaceman Spiff, ‘interplanetary explorer extraordinaire’. The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book presents just the Sunday pages, in colour. The first three volumes collecting Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes reprinted both daily and Sunday pages in black and white. ![]()
