This set of books collects ALL of Calvin and Hobbes for 11/18/85, the date of the first strip, through 11/1/92, with the exception of the newspaper strip of 11/28/85. The strip that appears in the books (and in _Comic Relief_, a book reprinting the strips from the Thanksgiving Hunger Project) was not run in the newspapers. The newspaper strip has Hobbes getting a bath in the washing machine. The book strip has Calvin ordering pizza after being sent to his room.
