YUKON HO!

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. Highlights from this collection include: Snowball battles, sledding wipeouts, and mutant snowmen Showdowns with Susie Derkins and Miss Wormwood’s homework assignments Early appearances of Calvinball and the cardboard transmogrifier Thoughtful musings with Hobbes on free will, nature, and humanity Black-and-white dailies showcasing Watterson’s expressive cartooning A perfect mix of laughter, imagination, and philosophical insight for readers of all ages With expressive art, sharp humor, and boundless imagination, Yukon Ho! captures the rebellion, wonder, and wit of childhood—reminding us why Calvin and Hobbes remains one of the most beloved comics of all time.
