Who is Calvin's Greatest Foil?
We all know that Calvin was a handful sometimes (o.k., most of the time) and he often questioned authority, often viewing his elders as his foes. Most of the time, these elders were only looking out for Calvin's best interests, but somehow, in Calvin's wild and vivid imagination, he didn't always see it as so. Other times he was just a victim of circumstance. Who in this list do you think was the biggest pain in the butt for Calvin, in other words, his greatest foil?

I have to admit that it is quite humourous and the guy who portrayed Watterson bears a close resemblance.

Hobbes: Real or Make Believe
How do you look at it?
Faithful readers of Calvin and Hobbes will recall that whenever the tiger was depicted in the same comic panel with anyone besides Calvin, he was drawn as an inanimate stuffed toy. However, once alone with Calvin, he came to life, much larger than Calvin and was even able to speak. Some readers have always had different views of this. Some think that Hobbes would only reveal himself to Calvin by magically coming to life while others think Hobbes was nothing more than a toy and his ability to walk and talk was a result of Calvin's vivid and wild imagination. What do you think?
Was Hobbes a product of Calvin's imagination or did he magically come to life when nobody else was around?
Calvin's Imagination
DrIntrepid says:
He magically came to life by the sheer audacity of Calvin's imagination.
Julian Nieto says:
i say that some is based on real events like when they did calvin trying to lear swimming lesson that was real for me . another example is that i left my toy dinosaur in the woods .so some can be real or made up cus a kid can't be in trobue for so many thing
canoz says:
Calvin's alter ego that allows him to make sense of the world! Love him! Who else understands Calvin so well.... but himself???
Rewards4life says:
Didn't we all have a Hobbes when we were young?

Magic
Amitabh1702 says:
Of course, Hobbes is real. Why this doubt?
AnnaleeBlysse says:
Well, magical enough to get me giggling more times than I can possibly remember. Wonderful comic strip. I did enjoy a few others, but Calvin and Hobbes was my favorite.
catbehaviors says:

Lio Makes a Gruesome Discovery
Finds comic colleague
lio by GoComics
Browse zazzle for a different shirtzazzle
This might be a little too morbid for loyal Calvin & Hobbes fans but I found it funny but also a little disturbing.
Lio, another little boy comic strip character, makes a gruesome discovery when he finds the remains of a boy next to a stuffed toy tiger.
Kind of puts a damper on the whole "they lived happily ever after" ending, doesn't it?
How Dare He!
How could you Lio?
When Calvin and Hobbes ended, readers were left with a warm, fuzzy feeling as the mischievous boy and his tiger go off, exploring.
But the creator of the comic strip, Lio, envisioned a different ending, one with a much more morbid tone.

- Definitely when his father tells him that black and white photos are a result of being taken before the world changed colour. They never changed colour when the rest of the world did because they were photos of black and white things! Classic. I think Calvin's dad has a lot to answer for..... lol

Calvin's Comment Cultivator Contraption
Reader Feedback
Known for his many unusual inventions, I pondered what Calvin might have invented for his many readers and fans to leave him and this lens comments of praise. Would Calvin expect any other kind? Therefore, I surmised that he would have come up with something fashioned out of a cardboard box and written across it in crayon, Calvin's Comment Cultivator Contraption. Minus the box, here is your chance to use said contraption.
