To Chiddy - Hobbes is a stuffed toy tiger in ‘reality’ but to Calvin he’s very much alive. Sort of like an imaginary friend.

But don’t you worry Hobbes, we know the truth… ;)

Adding on to the question about Hobbes, Bill Watterson deliberately left that open to interpretation. Some believe he exists in Calvin’s imagination, and some believe he comes to life when no one else is around. My fantasy side enjoys going with the latter.

Ellsass: Won’t lie, I had to read it a few times. :)

Runar, you send me to Google at least once a week. My daughter runs a fantasy literature web site (fantasyliterature.net) I sent her the Wikipedia reference. It will be interesting to see if I’ve surprised her.

“Yeah, it’s on my website.”

Sigh…where did I go wrong?

Ray: Yeah, that Chun’s a nasty guy (I was hoping someone would get the reference - do yourself a favor and read the story associated with it). According to a bit of fan filklore, the only way to avoid Chun is to use Bilbo’s Ring.

Calvin provides the perfect training ground should Rosalyn ever decide to be a mother.

Rosalyn is a fine, young lady who is babysitting Calvin while Calvin’s mommy and daddy go to the movie. She looks much better than we saw other person who looked freak ugly geek gal with buck teeth and weird eyeglasses that Calvin disliked very much. Sheesh! Calvin and Hobbes should not hide in the closet or climb out of the window while the fine, young girl arrived at their home. Awww, schuck!

I remember reading this one when I was a kid and not getting it, cause I didn’t know what a cattle prod was. Good times.

Can you cross two different worlds like that? Somehow, that seems contrary to nature. Nature as conceived in fantasy novels, anyway.
I think I will read it. She has me reading the Nine Brothers in Amber books now, and I really do not like the characters nor the writing style.

Um - just a suggestion, but don’t you think Rosalyn is just joking with the parents, like we all do sometimes? I mean, I think most of us make comments like this in a given situation - it’s not really meant, just funning.

No, I’m pretty sure she intends to cattle prod the little stinkers.

It’s obivious to me that Hobbes is very much alive when there are no other people around. How else could he hold Calvin there? It just is not clear to Clavin that they see Hobbes differently. When i was at that age i had stuffed monkey as my friend. It was then when i learned my first kung fu moves ;)

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes has been a worldwide favorite since its introduction in 1985. The strip follows the richly imaginative adventures of Calvin and his trusty tiger, Hobbes. Whether a poignant look at serious family issues or a round of time-travel (with the aid of a well-labeled cardboard box), Calvin and Hobbes will astound and delight you.
