    I still think that Hobbes has the kitchen and house on his side, especially since Calvin mentions scenic splendor on his side and of course Calvin’s house would be decay and filth, and that is on Hobbe’s side.

    Calvin still hasn’t learned NOT to mess with a tiger.

    Obviously Calvin isn’t a match for Hobbes. He surely forgot Hobbes knows everything about higher mathematics: calculus, imaginary numbers, etc. etc……..

    Calvin seems to be Hobbes imaginary playmate.

    On the nail Leonardeuler–as shown by Calvin’s losing every game of Calvinball to Hobbes!

    I am admitting this: (strange)

    I had an imaginary friend, “speedy,” when I was just a tyke. I remember losing arguments to him! Mom always liked him better, too! This is weird, huh?

    doctertoon: interesting way of putting it. This sort of thing really makes me think about if everything around me actually exists, or if its all just someones dream. When the dreamer wakes up, will we poof out of existence?

    Hobbes not only has a high intelligence quotient (180, more or less), but he also is a world champion in weightlifting……

    If you want to come out the winner, Calvin you’d best find another playmate. Hobbes always wins!

    My daughter also has imaginary friends. She gets upset and cries at things they do. Her older brother has to remind her that she made her friends up and can make them do whatever she wants them to.

    Calvin has the scenic splendour of flora on his side. But what about the fauna ? That’s Hobbes himself.

    I love how you can pretty much read any C&H comic without knowing what was printed for the last week or so, and still find it funny :D

    Like Calvin, I was an only child. I had two imaginary friends, my two teddy bears. I still have them, somewhere. I still can remember our adventures and how real those bears were as they talked and played with me. Special memories.

    He he he! Poor Calvin; he can’t win. Hobbes always has a wittier response. And even when Calvin wins (see yesterday), he looses!

    Gee, at least my sisters and brothers taunted me with mom liking them better than me – not my imaginary friends! ;-)

    Actually, that’s not always quite true. Many authors have the experience of their characters doing their own thing – once you set their character, that’s what they have to do to be consistent. One that comes to mind: on MASH, the writers wanted Klinger to be asleep on guard duty. Klinger refused. He said that his character (at that point) was cross-dressing to get out of the army, but otherwise he was a model soldier, and would never be asleep on duty. The writers agreed, and put another (generic) guard on duty to sleep.

    It is amazing how strong a stuffed animal can be, at least in the eyes (and imagination) of a boy.

    Calvin looks so vunerable in the third panel. I’ll bet he’s thinking, “Oh-oh, I’ve done it now!”

    my mate and I are in our 50’s and 60’s, but ya’ know, some things just don’t change. We still go at it like this. Whatever that says about us is just what it is, I guess.

    When a Tyger gets a look on his face like Hobbes has on panel 2, you are looking at danger.
