Calvin is back—and so is his dreaded babysitter! Revenge of the Baby-Sat 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 Calvin and Hobbes is perfect for fans of comic brilliance, thoughtful reflection, and childhood nostalgia. Calvin’s epic battles with babysitter Rosalyn headline Revenge of the Baby-Sat, 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. 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 Calvin and Hobbes can, making it an enduring favorite.
