    Instead these photos of Calvin were used to model emojis.

    What? Your overactive imagination isn’t enough, Calvin?

    In psychology, that is called executive planning.

    Calvin, you’re forgetting about your Permanent Record.

    Calvin continues on the course to becoming a politician. Except, that’s not really doing something responsible with your life.

    It’s good to have a fake persona as a backup plan.

    He learned that from the pols, whose histories — and opinions — change with the tide.

    Lots of people have made-up backgrounds. The Horatio Alger society is full of them.

    As you plan the crime, plan the alibi.

    Take the picture quickly, Hobbes. Calvin’s contemplation may disappear just as quickly.

    Always wondered why my parents took photos of me in front of the bookcase.

    This is the first of a three-day story arc about Hobbes taking photos that give a misleading image of Calvin.

    It’s usually Calvin who takes the photos of Hobbes. As I mentioned on Sunday, there was another Sunday strip of Hobbes pouncing on Calvin in which Calvin took a photograph of Hobbes and showed it to Dad who – of course – saw Hobbes as a small doll in midair. That was an example of Watterson’s claim that Hobbes doesn’t change shape but the strip shows Hobbes as different characters see him.

    Another Sunday strip had Hobbes pulling faces and Calvin taking photos of him and laughing at the faces Hobbes was pulling. Calvin showed them to Dad not realising that Dad just saw photos of the same stuffed doll that he sees Hobbes as.

    A series of daily strips had Calvin preparing to take a photo of Hobbes and eventually taking it. We saw Calvin and Hobbes look at the photo which showed Hobbes as the living tiger that both Calvin and Hobbes see Hobbes as. Any other human would have seen it as a photo of a stuffed tiger doll.

    That is a new look for him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that expression before. Well done!

    A fictitious childhood is also useful for those of us needing a new identity under the witness protection program

    There Calvin goes with that big vocabulary again. I think he is an unusually intelligent child.

    That Calvin! He’s always thinking ahead! Although usually with dire consequences.
