From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
"Calvin and Hobbes" was a popular comic strip written by Bill Watterson about a boy named Calvin and his best friend, a talking tiger named Hobbes. First syndicated in 1985, Calvin and Hobbes was carried by over 2,400 newspapers. Almost 23 million Calvin and Hobbes books have been printed. The strip is based on Calvin, a 6 year old boy, and his tiger Hobbes. In the first strip, Calvin meets Hobbes when he catches him with a rope noose baited with a tuna fish sandwich.
There has been much discussion over whether Hobbes is imaginary or a stuffed animal that actually comes to life. Bill Watterson explains that while stuffed animal Hobbes is in one reality, living Hobbes is in another, and readers may decide which one is real. Together Calvin and Hobbes run into all sorts of trouble and adventures. The comic strip ran from November 18, 1985 until December 31, 1995.
