<b>Calvin is back--and so is his dreaded babysitter! </b><i><b>Revenge of the Baby-Sat</b></i><b> is the sixth collection packed with Bill Watterson's trademark style in black-and-white and full-color Sunday strips. The wild, witty brilliance of </b><i><b>Calvin and Hobbes</b></i><b> is perfect for fans of comic brilliance, thoughtful reflection, and childhood nostalgia.</b> <p>Calvin's epic battles with babysitter Rosalyn headline <i>Revenge of the Baby-Sat</i>, 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. </p><p>Through black-and-white dailies, 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 <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i> can, making it an enduring favorite. </p><p><b>Highlights</b><br></p><ul><li>Debut of Stupendous Man</li><li>Calvin's epic battles with babysitter Rosalyn </li><li>As always, mutant snowmen and sledding adventure</li><li>Rivalry (and occasional peace) with Susie Derkins</li><li>Early Calvinball games</li><li>Dinosaur daydreams and treehouse strategy sessions</li><li>Expanding Spaceman Spiff adventures</li><li>Homework avoidance schemes</li><li>Black-and-white daily strips </li><li>Satire on family, school, and consumer culture</li></ul>
