    This strip represents one of the few times – you can count them on one hand, I believe – that Calvin gets the better of Hobbes.

    I never saw Calvin ever again as a Scout after this arc. I wonder was it the Noodle incident that got him kicked out..

    And that’s why Hobbes never interacts with other tigers: he’s afraid of them.

    Hobbes learns in a later strip that tigers are territorial and don’t share their territory with one another. “This explains why I don’t get more dates,” he says.

    Hobbes’ situation vis-à-vis other tigers reminds me of Mr. Tawky Tawny, the character from the Captain Marvel comics.

    He’s afraid it might be someone he knows.

    He could have used another animal, but he chose tiger. I wonder how Hobbes reacts every time he looks at the mirror. Probably like Tigger.
