Synopsis:

Monsters under the bed, mutant snowmen, and time-travel chaos―Calvin and Hobbes turn ordinary childhood into an extraordinary, heart-filled, philosophical adventure in Something Under the Bed Is Drooling.

In Something Under the Bed Is Drooling, Calvin and Hobbes take childhood imagination to new heights. Hobbes pounces, Susie schemes, and Calvin’s parents endure a nonstop parade of questions, pranks, and musings. Monsters lurk under the bed, snowmen march in grotesque armies, and the cardboard box becomes a springboard for time travel, space adventures, and endless imagination.

Featuring comics originally published in newspapers between August 1986 and May 1987, this volume builds on Bill Watterson's signature blend of wit, heart, and insight, featuring a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Pat Oliphant.

Highlights from this collection include:

• Showcases Calvin’s monster theories, time travel experiments, and rivalry with babysitter Rosalyn
• Calvin’s snow-day capers, school-day schemes, Susie the neighbor frenemy
• Philosophical walks and musings on life, adulthood, and the environment
• Includes daily black-and-white strips 
• Features an introduction by Pat Oliphant

With its perfect mix of comedy, imagination, and philosophy, this collection captures the universal joys and struggles of growing up. Expressive artwork, razor-sharp wit, and boundless creativity make Something Under the Bed Is Drooling a must-have for fans of imaginative storytelling, inquisitive ponderings, laugh-out-loud scenes wrapped up in the childhood hijinks of the most legendary duos of all time.
