Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 15, 2008

Whatever you do, don’t miss :)

Haha loved it xD!

Being funny without dialog is a rare gift among cartoonists.

Imagination is wondeerful!!

NOw this is what am talking about…lol lol Go Hobbes

Calvin is a little rascal, but he got what he deserved :D

See Hobbes HAS to be real how else could Calvin get himself up there?

Yea thats true…Hobbes is real…its just that he comes alive only when he’s alone with Calvin…

*bkharvey says: See Hobbes HAS to be real how else could Calvin get himself up there?*

That’s the same question regularly asked by Calvin’s Mother/Father/Teacher/etc. How do kids manage to get themselves into half the predicaments they get into? The Mystery of Hobbes is the Mystery of 6 year-olds everywhere.

i love it so good. i love hobbes without him it is just not the same.

If Hobbes is imaginary, then Calvin is only imagining himself up higher than he is.

Now, if Hobbes is real, why does he appear as a plushie to everyone else? Why doesn’t Hobbes just carry Calvin in front of people? Either Calvin’s floating, or he’s down on the ground faking it all. Then we’d all know for sure.

Maybe Calvin is a mutant, and his imagination turns real, but only for himself?

Hobbes is totally real!!! How else did Calvin get all tied up to the chair in that one strip where he’s trying to be an escape artist?! :) :) :)

Proof that Hobbes is real.

still a mystery

Bill Watterson has said that the nature of Hobbes’ reality doesn’t concern him. I wish I had the direct quote (it was in the 10th Anniversary Edition), but he said that Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and everyone else sees him another. We all see the world differently and he just draws that literally in the strip.

He also said that Hobbes is definitely not a stuffed animal that magically comes to life around Calvin.

i love the look on calvin’s face on being caught :)

If Hobbes was magical toy, he’d be Barney.

Hobbes = revenge.

no words

how is he going to get down
