An affectionate and revealing book about uncovering the story behind this most uncommon trio - a man, a boy and his tiger. >

---

For ten years "Calvin and Hobbes" was one of the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive creator, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life. This title traces the life and career of the intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes.
