Thereby Hangs a Tale is the first collection of comic strips featuring Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Summary of the Book A young boy lays a trap for wild tigers, and manages to catch one in his backyard. However, his parents seem to believe that “Hobbes” is just a stuffed tiger. Calvin knows for certain that Hobbes is real, and he tries to take Hobbes everywhere. After all, there’s nothing like a tiger to scare away the bullies at school. However, his mother has a thing or two to say about that. Calvin’s constantly in trouble, using his imagination to see himself in other worlds and other timelines. From the wide open spaces of space to the terrifying plains of the Jurassic Age, Calvin’s been everywhere, and then some. But there is no place as terrifying as reality, because adults have just seemed to messed things up. About Bill Watterson William B. Watterson II is an American comic book writer and artist.
