The Revenge of the Baby-Sat

Bill Watterson’s The Revenge of the Baby-Sat is a single-issue Calvin and Hobbes treasury from 1991, published by Scholastic, that collects some of the strip’s most memorable Sunday and daily storylines. As with all of Watterson’s work, it showcases his signature blend of razor-sharp humor, philosophical whimsy, and beautifully expressive cartooning, centering on the endlessly inventive six-year-old and his tiger. Though brief in run, it remains a beloved snapshot of the creative peak of one of comics’ most celebrated and influential strips.
