Narration Conducive To Books Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat (Calvin and Hobbes #9)
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat chronicles the multifarious adventures of this wild child and his faithful, but skeptical, friend. If the best cartoons compel readers to identify themselves within the funny frames, then all who enjoy Calvin and Hobbes are creative, imaginative, and ... bad, bad, bad! Calvin, the irascible little boy with the stuffed tiger who comes to life are a pair bound for trouble. Boring school lessons become occasions for death-defying alien air battles, speeding snow sled descents elicit philosophical discussions on the meaning of life, and Hobbe's natural inclination to pounce on his little friend wreaks havoc on Calvin's sense of security. Calvin's the kid we all wish we"d been. Sassy, imaginative, far more verbal than his parents can manage, Calvin is the quintessential bad boy--and the boy we love to see. He terrorizes little Susie, offers "Candid Opinions" from a neighborhood stand, and questions his parents" authority. "What assurance do I have that your parenting isn't screwing me up?" he demands. Calvin and Hobbes manages to say what needs to be said about childhood and life: "Eww, mud," says Calvin. "Look at this gooshy, dirty, slimy, thick, wet mud... Bleecch... Talk about a kid magnet!"Identify Books To Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat (Calvin and Hobbes #9)

Is there such a thing as a bad Calvin and Hobbes book? Not quite as many stories but some sharp looks at our culture that are still relevant 20 years later. And just plan plenty of laughs.Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.Best comic strip ever, period.
I love this comic strip. It's consistently entertaining. Calvin has to deal with coded letters, being good enough to get presents from Santa, new year's resolutions, tests in school, traffic safety posters, eating worms for money, tricking Susie with a coded message and other existential issues. It's nice that he has time to be academic about it.
The first ten pages involve Hobbes attacking Calvin from the shadows (hence the title and cover art) and sending him ominous coded letters that turn out to be schoolyard insults. If Hobbes is real, why does Calvin tolerate this? If Hobbes is imaginary, what does it say about Calvin that even his imaginary friends antagonize him? We are free to wonder, as Watterson deliberately avoids answering them. Frankly, answers might spoil the fun.C&H's tendency toward melancholy is pronounced in this
This was one of my favorites, even though I didn't really read it thoroughly. Hobbes just loves to pounce on Calvin, especially after school.
An excellent answer for if ever any one asks you 'what's wrong'?Yell, Homicidal Jungle Cat! And point wildly over your shoulder.
