Yukon Ho

Calvin--a six-year-old boy with a boundless imagination and a zest for misadventure--confounds his parents, his teacher and his classmates with the help of his lovable stuffed tiger Hobbes. Of course homework can wait—the Yukon is calling! Join Calvin and Hobbes for cosmic battles, camping blunders, razor-sharp laughs, and more wild adventures depicting the unforgettable charm of childhood rebellion in Yukon Ho! There’s only one reasonable response to chores, baths, and homework: escape to the Yukon with your tiger best friend. In Yukon Ho!, the series’ core characters are now familiar faces: Spaceman Spiff, Miss Wormwood, neighbor Susie, Rosalyn the babysitter, and Calvin’s endlessly patient, frequently exasperated parents. Here, Bill Watterson also sharpens the strip’s signature themes—nature vs. technology, imagination vs. reality, childhood vs. adulthood—while delivering backyard battles, camping mishaps, and late-night philosophizing on everything from pollution to human folly. Including comics originally published in newspapers between May 1987 and February 1988, this volume captures some of the strip’s most iconic moments: the invention of the transmogrifier, Calvin’s power struggles with Rosalyn, his awkward almost-friendship with Susie, and his tireless resistance to grown-up rules. A nostalgic favorite for longtime fans and a lively introduction for new readers, Yukon Ho! is a timeless celebration of imagination, friendship, and refusing to let reality get in the way of a good adventure. Enjoy Bill Watterson’s beloved blend of imaginative fantasy, intelligent humor, expressive cartooning, and sharply observed childhood and family life. Calvin and Hobbes pack a sled and abandon civilization for a wilderness without school, chores, baths, or parents—at least until reality complicates the plan. Ideal for longtime readers, families discovering the strip together, collectors of classic newspaper cartoons, and anyone who remembers making an entire universe out of a backyard and a cardboard box. Pack the sled and join Calvin and Hobbes for a classic escape into childhood imagination, comic chaos, and adventure without limits.
