This is a page of my favourite Calvin and Hobbes piccies. As I said
before, it is in no way comprehensive and is not meant to be, either, although it has started to get bigger since this became a featured page on Geocities. I think these particular ones show the cuddly pair at their best.
I have recently changed the format of this page to make it more user-friendly. In my opinion, it is better split into separate pages this way than having mere descriptions to click on, but it is your opinions that matter, so please sign my guestbook and tell me what you think!
If any of these images don't work or look screwy, could you please inform me, cuz I like to keep them all accessible for whoever wants to see. Ta muchly.
This is how Louise Mooney sums up Calvin...
"Calvin is an abnormally precocious child with an over-active imagination,
often illustrated by Watterson as prehistoric fantasies, in which Calvin's
teacher, (Miss Wormwood), might be a triceratops,
ready to gobble him up, or his mother a
gila monster, forcing him into a primeval river--- when she is actually
only trying to coax him into the bathtub. Calvin also fancies himself as
'Spaceman Spiff," who speeds through the universe, encountering new and
bizarre life forms. Not so fantastic, but equally amusing, is Calvin's
day-to-day life, peopled by such figures as Susie Derkins, the little
neighbor and schoolmate whom he endlessly taunts and disgusts; his father,
the subject of countless Calvin-generated (and negative) "popularity polls";
and Moe, Calvin's thick headed bully nemesis and 'the only third grader
who shaves.' Calvin also spends special times with his tiger buddy Hobbes,
often meandering dangerously in a wagon or sled, taking philosophical
spring or fall walks, plotting against a sadistic babysitter, or holding
special tree-house club meetings, where the only two members wear
newspaper hats."

This is what Bill Watterson has to say about the cuddlesome tiger...
"The so-called gimmick of my strip - the two versions
of Hobbes - is sometimes misunderstood. I don't think of Hobbes as a
doll that miraculously comes to life when Calvin's around. Neither do
I think of Hobbes as the product of Calvin's imagination. The nature
of Hobbes's reality doesn't interest me, and each story goes out of its
way to avoid resolving the issue. Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and
everyone else sees Hobbes another way. I show two versions of reality
and each makes complete sense to the participant who sees it. I think
that's how life works."
