Not related to todays cartoon, but Hobbes did go on an adventure… http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/hillsborough-regional-news/left-behind-boys-stuffed-tiger-goes-on-big-adventure-at-tampa-international-airport

Thanks to those who provided links to the other Hobbes’ adventures after being left at the Tampa Airport. That was super nice of the airport staff.
