    “You walrus hurt the one you love…”

    Hobbes, where I come from, that’s called a toboggan.

    Do we know what state Calvin and Hobbes are in or where the author grew up? It’s written with so much thought that I wondered if any of it was patterned after his childhood. Did he has a stuffed tiger named Hobbes for example?

    Calvin & Hobbes live somewhere in mid-West US - most probably Bill Watterson’s home state of Ohio - Don’t know about the stuffed tiger theory but Calvin & Hobbes - names are based on John Calvin (theologian) and Thomas Hobbes (17th cent philosopher).

    The advantage of taking a Tiger with you when you travel to the Yukon, is that he can catch Walruses!

    And if you catch a walrus, how do you go about making sandwiches?

    A walrus sandwich is easy. Just put it between two slices of bread.

    All I remeber about the great white north, is never eat raw polar bear liver. It’s so high in vitamin A that it will kill you.

    Dino-1, my feeling has always been he has an 8 yr old son, perhaps named Calvin who needs his sugar intake more carefully monitored. But what ever, it’s great reading, remeniscing and still provides my mate and myself plenty fo new laughs.

    They were toboggans in Northern Wisconsin also, but then we always felt like a suburb of Canada

    Walrus probably tastes like chicken. It’s easy to make a sandwich. Their tusks make great knives.

    Calvinhobbes24: There is a compilation book entitled “Yukon Ho!”:

    http://www.amazon.com/Yukon-Ho-Bill-Watterson/dp/0836218353/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225593581&sr=8-1

    It includes a song Calvin and Hobbes sing about their journey that was only released in this book. Awesome.

    What’s it like to have a walrus on rye?

    Is it anything like a moose on pot?

    Hi Tx,

    time for slumber land.

    Calvin calls it a toboggan. Not sure why Hobbes called it a sled.

    Watterson doesn’t have any children. Nor was he anything like Calvin when he was young. As for Hobbes, he was primarily based off of Watterson’s tabby cat, Sprite. So he said in the 10th Anniversary Edition.

    Thanx for the info lose… even though it shoots down my long time theory, it gives me even more respect for his imagination. C&H have been my favorites forever.

    Walrus has been removed from the menu of most sandwich shops, many of which are boycotting sled manufactures associated with the inhumane hunting of these magnificent animals. Search TogosBansToboggans.

    Actually, THAT style of sled is a tobbagan. Calvin has used regular “Rosebud”-type sleds too and refered to them as such.
