Calvin and Hobbes walking on a log through the woods.
Summary Calvin and Hobbes is a beloved comic strip following the adventures of Calvin and his imaginary best friend Hobbes. Or, is it? Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson was adamant for years that Hobbes wasn’t merely some imaginary friend, stressing how real he was to Calvin, which made Hobbes just as much a literal character as a representation of childhood imagination.
Related 10 Funniest Calvin and Hobbes Comics That Just Turned 30 Calvin and Hobbes is a hilarious comic strip, and as of June, 2024, an entire month's worth of comics just turned 30. These are the 10 funniest! As it stands, the ‘how’ of Hobbes tied Calvin to the chair, as well as the nature of his sentient existence, remains to be seen. However, what seems clear about this comic is that Hobbes is actually alive. That means Hobbes not only isn’t just a mere figment of Calvin’s imagination, but that Bill Watterson really meant what he said when he confirmed that Hobbes is more than Calvin’s imaginary friend.
It seems Watterson left it open to interpretation whether Hobbes is actually real or not, while maintaining the personal belief that Hobbes is real, not just imaginary. While many fans will likely continue to believe that Hobbes is a combination of Calvin’s stuffed tiger and a product of his creative imagination, it’s hard to argue with the creator of Calvin and Hobbes himself, not to mention the seemingly concrete evidence of Hobbes’ physical existence shown in this comic strip.
