Description
Snowmen come alive--and it's not pretty. Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons is a laugh-out-loud Calvin and Hobbes collection packed with winter mayhem, deep thoughts, and the timeless genius of Bill Watterson. Calvin's snowmen become monstrous creations in Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, spanning June 1990 to April 1991. This collection brims with Spaceman Spiff adventures, chaotic experiments with the Transmogrifier and Duplicator, and Calvin's hilariously doomed battles with babysitter Rosalyn. Through it all, Hobbes delivers his trademark sardonic wit, grounding the whirlwind of Calvin's imagination with sharp perspective. Black-and-white dailies and full-color Sunday strips highlight Watterson's gift for blending slapstick comedy, clever satire, and surprising depth. From outrageous antics to moments of quiet reflection, these stories capture the boundless scope of childhood imagination and showcase the enduring brilliance of Watterson's art and storytelling. Highlights:
- Iconic mutant snowman storyline
- Epic neighborhood snowball wars and creative forts
- Babysitter Rosalyn's comedic battles
- Cardboard-box inventions go hilariously awry
- Spaceman Spiff intergalactic adventures
- Philosophical riffs on fear, morality, and free will
- Transmogrifier and Duplicator experiments
- Winter landscapes showcasing expressive art
- Humorous yet reflective winter mischief
