About The Book
Calvin is back—and so is his dreaded babysitter! The wild, witty brilliance of Calvin and Hobbes in this sixth collection is perfect for fans of comic brilliance, thoughtful reflection, and childhood nostalgia.
Calvin’s epic battles with babysitter Rosalyn headline TheRevenge of the Baby-Sat, spanning December 1988 to September 1989. Stupendous Man bursts onto the scene, mutant snowmen wreak havoc, and cardboard-box inventions spark endless adventures. Rosalyn’s struggle for control collides with Calvin’s relentless mischief, setting the stage for some of the strip’s most memorable showdowns.
Through black-and-white dailies and full-color Sunday strips, Watterson captures schoolyard rivalries with Susie Derkins, household chores turned upside-down, and daydreams that spiral into dinosaurs, treehouse wars, and early rounds of Calvinball. Packed with sharp wit, expressive characters, and thoughtful undertones, this collection blends action and insight in a way only Calvin and Hobbes can, making it an enduring favorite.
Open the book and see what happens when Calvin decides it’s finally time to get even! The Revenge of the Baby-Sat is a must-have for longtime fans of this iconic series as well as new readers.
