One of the More Popular Books,
First, and foremost, it must be known: All Calvin and Hobbes are great. Yukon Ho!, however, is one that tends to rise above the rest. It’s true this is one of the earlier books and includes the 9 verse tune The Yukon Song and has all the great cartoons, but why it seems to be more popular, I cannot say. All I know and can guarantee is that it’s funny and is everything Calvin and Hobbes. From the beginning of the book where Calvin is convinced that he and Hobbes have traveled into the future (nope not with a cardboard box) it is too easy to appreaciate Calvin’s motives. He’s not after the secrets of genetic cloning or the what politician is waging wars with other countries. He’s looking forward to floating cities and telling people in the present what he saw. And this is the real beauty of Calvin and Hobbes shows through. It’s the quest of a six-year-old to have a good time with a furry friend. Rarely in a comic strip has such devotion and integrity of a kid been so accurately portrayed.
You’ll chuckle at Calvin’s dad ‘s explanation of the workings of a carburetor and the hilarious camping trip to a desolate rock that Calvin’s entire family embarks on. Rosalyn appears again, and yes, again terrorizes Calvin. Calvin digs up dirt on his dad,which compromises his father’s high-ranking position of dad. Calvin tries and fails to be the next Houdini and Susie and Calvin are assigned an a project together. All the way to the new and improved transmogrifier, it’s pure magic, purely Calvin and Hobbes.

|A Boy and His Tiger,
“Yukon Ho!” is a collection of daily and Sunday “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strips. Since the dates have not been left in the strips, it is difficult to determine the time frame involved. But that doesn’t really matter, because this strip is as fresh and funny today, years after Bill Watterson ended the strip, as it was back in the day.
If you have never heard of Calvin and his adventures with his stuffed tiger, Hobbes, pick this book up today and become hooked with the rest of us.
