Product Description

In It’s a Magical World, the saga of Calvin and Hobbes comes to a close with the final strips from March 20 to December 31, 1995. Snowmen turn into imaginative masterpieces, Calvinball erupts into glorious chaos, and father-son camping trips spark both comedy and reflection. Spaceman Spiff blasts off one last time, while Watterson’s signature balance of humor, insight, and sentiment delivers a farewell that is both joyful and bittersweet.

Black-and-white dailies and full-color Sundays showcase Calvin’s limitless imagination, Hobbes’ sardonic wisdom, and the everyday hilarity of school, home, and play. Environmental satire, social commentary, and moments of quiet introspection highlight Watterson’s artistry, reminding readers of the fleeting wonder of childhood. This final treasury distills everything that makes the strip unforgettable—mischief, philosophy, and boundless creativity—making it a fitting and essential conclusion for fans of all ages.
