Résumé :
Calvin, the six-year-old dirty tricksmeister and master of indignation and his warm, cuddly philosopher sidekick and Hobbes, a tiger whose idea of adventure is to lie on his back by the fire and have his stomach rubbed. This unlikely due captured the hearts, the minds, and, most of all, the funny bones of America. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes contains a full-color section, as well as the cartoons appearing in The Revenge of the Baby-Sat and Scientific Progres... >Voir plus

J'adore Calvin and Hobbes, là n'est pas la question. J'ai plutôt une difficulté avec le format de cet album.

La poésie du début de l'album m'a semblée très incongrue et fort peu à propos. Mais mon niveau d'anglais n'est peut-être pas assez bon pour en apprécier vraiment toute la saveur. Quant aux planches affublées de couleurs criardes, même si je ne déteste pas, je ne vois pas bien non plus ce que ça ajoute. Enfin, je reste très dubitative par rapport au format. Comme je l'ai dit, j'adore vraiment cette bande dessinée, mais 250 pages de blagues de quatre à douze cases est assez indigeste, même lorsqu'on adore.

Pour conclure, je trouve le format de cet album plutôt inapproprié et peu agréable à lire. Il n'ajoute pas grand chose à la série et présente donc peu d'intérêt sauf pour le collectionneur.
Je reste néanmoins dans l'absolu, une très grande fan de Calvin and Hobbes que je vous recommande chaleureusement!

Je crois bien que Calvin et Hobbes sont mes BD préférées... C'est l'histoire d'un petit garçon d'environ 6 ans plein d'imagination qui invente des tas de crasses avec son tigre en peluche. Dit comme ça, ça a l'air moyen mais je vous jure que c'est un antidote merveilleux contre la morosité ambiante !

I made a big decision a little while ago.
I don’t remember what it was, which prob’ly goes to show
That many times a simple choice can prove to be essential
Even though it often might appear inconsequential.

I must have been distracted when I left my home because
Left or right I’m sure I went. (I wonder which it was!)
Anyway, I never veered: I walked in that direction
Utterly absorbed, it seems, in quiet introspection.

For no reason I can think of, I’ve wandered far astray.
And that is how I got to where I find myself today.

Explorers are we, intrepid and bold,
Out in the wild, amongst wonders untold.
Equipped wit our wits, a map, and a snack,
We’re searching for fun and we’re on the right track!

My mother has eyes on the back of her head!
I don’t quite believe it, but that’s what she said.
She explained that she’d been so uniquely endowed
To catch me when I did Things Not Allowed.
I think she must also have eyes on her rear.
I’ve noticed her hindsight is usually clear.

At night my mind does not much care
If what it thinks is here or there.
It tells me stories it invents
And makes up things that don’t make sense.
I don’t know why it does this stuff.
The real world seems quite weird enough.

What if my bones were in a museum,
Where aliens paid good money to see ‘em?
And suppose that they’d put me together all wrong,
Sticking bones on to bones where they didn’t belong!

Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
With each misassemblage, the error compounded,
The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!

Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
The museum would commission a model in plaster
Of ME, to be called, “Evolution’s Disaster”!

And paleontologists there would debate
Dozens of theories to help postulate
How man survived for those thousands of years
With teeth-covered arms growing out of his ears!

Oh, I hope that I’m never in such manner displayed,
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.

I did not want to go with them.
Alas, I had no choice.
This was made quite clear to me
In threat’ning tones of voice.

I protested mightily
And scrambled ‘cross the floor.
But though I grabbed the furniture,
they dragged me out of the door.

In the car, I screamed and moaned.
I cried my red eyes dry.
The window down, I yelled for help
To people we passed by.

Mom and Dad can make the rules
And certain things forbid,
But I can make them wish that they
Had never had a kid.

Now I’m in bed,
The sheets pulled to my head.
My tiger is here making Zs.
He’s furry and hot.
He takes up a lot
Of the bed and he’s hogging the breeze.

CALVIN
You're taking a shower NOW? That means you're going out tonight, right?

And you haven't told ME to get cleaned up, so that means I'm staying home, right?

And if I'm staying home, that means you've gotten me a baby sitter, right? And that means you've probably hired ROSALYN, right?!?

MOM
Brilliant, Holmes.

CALVIN
AAAHHHHHH!
