Commentary Supposing Books Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat (Calvin and Hobbes #9)
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat chronicles the multifarious adventures of this wild child and his faithful, but skeptical, friend. If the best cartoons compel readers to identify themselves within the funny frames, then all who enjoy Calvin and Hobbes are creative, imaginative, and ... bad, bad, bad! Calvin, the irascible little boy with the stuffed tiger who comes to life are a pair bound for trouble. Boring school lessons become occasions for death-defying alien air battles, speeding snow sled descents elicit philosophical discussions on the meaning of life, and Hobbe's natural inclination to pounce on his little friend wreaks havoc on Calvin's sense of security. Calvin's the kid we all wish we"d been. Sassy, imaginative, far more verbal than his parents can manage, Calvin is the quintessential bad boy--and the boy we love to see. He terrorizes little Susie, offers "Candid Opinions" from a neighborhood stand, and questions his parents" authority. "What assurance do I have that your parenting isn't screwing me up?" he demands. Calvin and Hobbes manages to say what needs to be said about childhood and life: "Eww, mud," says Calvin. "Look at this gooshy, dirty, slimy, thick, wet mud... Bleecch... Talk about a kid magnet!"Define Books Toward Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat (Calvin and Hobbes #9)

5/5 StarsI reread these comic strips often, and will always love them!* * *Yet another among the books published by Bill Watterson from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip that I have enjoyed. My children have literally worn out these collections of C&H comics, and with good reason. C&H is a unique blend of homespun philosophy, side-splitting humor, and insight into the human (child and adult) condition. Watterson's insights into, and sly digs at, various social, familial, and other institutions of modern life are masterful.
I love Calvin and Hobbes...Watterson has a great sense of ironic humor. Calvin is the most contradicting 6-year-old that ever lived. On one hand he's this: or this: and then he's extremely intelligent on the other hand, and sometimes I don't even understand him.[image error] point taken???Calvin doesn't care much for interaction with other students at his school and instead conversates with his best friend, a stuffed tiger named Hobbes. Their always making smart remarks and doing creatively
There's a mistaken impression of Calvin where he's basically a juvenile delinquent, that's not really supported by Bill Watterson's actual material. Calvin has tendencies, but overall he's defined by more than his penchant for mischief, those tendencies more his reluctance to conform and the subsequent reactions of adults in his life. Except, it seems, in the pages of Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat. Watterson seems to have been in some kind of bad mood.
I loved this book because it is hilarious, and basically the same as other Calivn and Hobbes books. I didn't read it all in one go, instead I read 2-3 pages a day and then red my other books. It is about Calvin and Hobbes' adventures and Calvin's overactive imagination.
I loved Calvin and Hobbes when I was young. I think it might be even better in my 30s with three kids.
