Calvin’s wild experiments take center stage in Scientific Progress Goes “Boink”, spanning September 1989 to July 1990. This collection features the fan-favorite "Duplicator" arc, in which multiple Calvins wreak havoc at home and school. Stupendous Man, Spaceman Spiff, and Tracer Bullet make standout appearances, while snowball wars, mutant armies, and spirited debates about science, ethics, and creativity push Calvin’s imagination to its limits. Expressive black-and-white dailies and vibrant Sunday strips showcase Watterson’s humor, artistry, and philosophical insight. Unique to this volume is The Yukon Song — original material created especially for the collection — adding playful charm and clever commentary. Together, these stories highlight Watterson’s unmatched ability to mix slapstick, satire, and thoughtful reflection into unforgettable adventures.
