Cartoons & Comic Strips

A comic strip is a series of panels with cartoon drawings and sequential art in them, that tell a story. Sometimes comic strips are humorous, sometimes they are simply telling a story and sometimes they are serious but they are always short, easy to read, and they always provide immediate satisfaction to the reader. These comic strips put together in a sequence tell stories that make perfect reading material and comic strip books for children and adults alike. Reluctant readers or voracious readers—comic strip books are loved by anyone that enjoys a well-told story and interesting narrative.

It's important to note however that these books do not read like graphic novels or old-school superhero comic books. Comic Strip books are curated, in a short panel-format (like those in newspapers!) comic strips in book format, or a series of books to tell stories that can interest readers across age groups.

In this collection of comic strip books we bring together both classics and contemporary comic strips. Some of the most popular being Peanuts by Charles Schulz and Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.

Yukon Ho! : Calvin & Hobbes Series: Book Four by Bill Watterson is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. One of the best comic strip books for adults and children alike; Calvin and Hobbes is a popular classic. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger was first syndicated in 1985 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired in January, 1996. This classic comic strip is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek. Amidst the discussions of morality, consumerism, and existentialism, Calvin and Hobbes is an escapist story of a six-year-old boy and his ambiguously imaginary friend the tiger. The relatability of Calvin’s attempts to escape from reality appeals not just to childhood memories but also to present experiences of the real world.
