    Better throw Calvin into the washer with the rest of the laundry. Mom. You notice that she doesnā€™t even SEE how beaten up he is!

    Stealing his tuna fish sandwich AND reading his comics? Hobbes has gone too far this time.

    Be happy, Calvin, at least Hobbes took your dinner and didnĀ“t take you as a dinnerā€¦.

    Mom doesnā€™t eat lunch with Calvin when Dadā€™s not there. Sheā€™s smart. Maybe if they let him read comics at the dinner table thereā€™d be less fuss.

    I love when Hobbes fights with Calvin. Especially when his shoe and shirt flies off in a seperate frame. Iā€™ve never seen this one before.

    I see weā€™ve once again hit that point where I am largely unfamiliar with the strips. I got every collection I could but somehow MISSED one back in the day- I was shocked to find strips in a bookstore Iā€™d never seen before. Iā€™ve read the entirety of the C&H run, but because I only read these ones as an adult and not constantly as a kid, I forget them more often.

    Another strip that raises the question of what Hobbes is. I started out assuming that he was a stuffed doll who only came alive in Calvinā€™s imagination. I later started to wonder whether Calvinā€™s imagination really does bring Hobbes to life. Several other readers have expressed this view and the Calvin and Hobbes Wiki entry on Calvin states that Calvinā€™s imagination does seem strong enough to bring Hobbes to life. However, Watterson stated in The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book ā€“ which was published towards the end of the stripā€™s ten year run ā€“ ā€œI do not see Hobbes as a stuffed doll who miraculously comes to life when alone with Calvin. Neither do I see Hobbes as a product of Calvinā€™s imagination.ā€

    Another popular fan theory is that Hobbes is part of Calvinā€™s split personality. This is a pretty good idea. However, we sometimes see Calvin and Hobbes doing things in different places at the same time. It was the fact that Hobbes is sometimes shown doing things when Calvin is elsewhere that first led me to suspect that Calvinā€™s imagination was bringing Hobbes to life ā€“ which I now know was NOT what Watterson intended.

    Watterson does go on to explain, ā€œCalvin sees Hobbes one way. Everyone else sees Hobbes another way. I think this is how life works. No two people see the world in exactly the same way. Hobbes is more to do with the subjective nature of reality than with dolls coming to life.ā€ This is a good enough explanation but I also like to remember that Hobbes is portrayed as Calvin sees him when he is alone in the strip. Calvin seems to see the true reality of Hobbes.

    Donā€™t blame it on a stuffed tiger no matter how real he is to you.

    LOL, guess this is one of the draw backs of living with a tiger, for theyā€™re always hungry.

    Heā€™s eaten the original and now wants a follow-up. The wrestling match was his imagination at work. But it made for a great arc for a gray, wet, windy Sunday.

    I honestly felt kind of bad for Calvin in the last panel, since Hobbes ended up taking his lunch. Of course, Hobbes just loves to eatā€¦
