Ah…I love this series of strips…the time jumpers….nearly as much as I love the Transmogrifier. I think I love Calvin and Hobbes because it takes me back to the unfettered imagination of childhood and so many possibilities….nothing’s impossible…and everything is pure.
Are tigers qualified to be service animals? I am qualified for a service animal, and have been considering a Percheron, but a tiger would be really cool, and would eliminate my neighbors’ objections to a 22h Percheron pony.
@Number Two: Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not Bill Watterson. It’s a common misconception. Often when people see someone on the street who looks exactly like Hobbes, they mistake him for Bill Watterson.
My dog has 2 stuffed tigers: Tony and Tigger. I’ve never seen any evidence that they’ve ever actually “talked” to her but then, I’ve also never seen any evidence to the contrary that they haven’t and don’t either!

You think if Calvin could invent a time machine, he could have invented a machine to do his homework.

Oh this should make for very interesting reading.

I’ve told you posters a thousand times that poster HOBBES is Bill Watterson in disguise. He denies it, but I’m not convinced.

So, Hobbes is a “paper tiger”?
rentier over 12 years ago
Wonderful, thank you Hobbes!Don’t you want to help Bill Waterson and continue Calvin & Hobbes!! We all wait for it!!
Hobbes Premium Member over 12 years ago
OK, this is getting real confusing. I can’t remember which one of these Hobbeses is me. And who the heck is Bill Watterson?

I don’t remember a strip with Hobbes and no humans! Isn’t this unique? or, at least, extremely rare?
GROG Premium Member over 12 years ago
I love that Peanuts strip, Hobbes. I also remember a Sunday strip where Linus boilt a snow sculpture of Lucy so he could watch it melt.

Maybe Mom and Dad already have laughed their heads off and now can’t see what Calvin and Hobbes are doing!
sonnygreen over 12 years ago
Well! . . . We finally found out how Bill does it. I wonder how he got a box big enough to travel in. . . . And did Hobbes write for him too.

I want a pet Hobbes… My Tigger just doesn’t do anything.
Perkycat over 12 years ago
Love this strip. I know a few people Hobbes could draw that would resemble that picture.

It seems like Johnny Diego and I share some wavelength.

Hobbes is getting ahead of himself. He starts drawing illustrations before he has written any of the story. What’s the story on that?
Willi Nilli Premium Member over 12 years ago
Where are you Number Six?
Hobbes Premium Member over 12 years ago
@Puddleglum: Yes, it’s almost as if Hobbes is getting two hours ahead of himself.

What would Calvin’s parents think if they walked in their boy’s room and saw two stuffed tigers there? There would be some a lot of explaining to do!

Isn’t it amazing how some people will expend twice the effort in trying to evade a task as they would have in simply doing it?

Hobbs writing a story about Calvin? It may not be a tall tail.

Should be some “cat” -ching lines in that story…

I doubt it. Bill Watterson wanted to move on in his life.
