Calvin and Hobbes is set in the contemporary United States in an unspecified suburban area. The strip depicts Calvin's flights of fantasy and his friendship with Hobbes, and also examines Calvin's relationships with family and classmates. Hobbes' dual nature is a defining motif for the strip: To Calvin, Hobbes is a live anthropomorphic tiger; all the other characters see him as an inanimate stuffed toy. Though the series does not mention specific political figures or current events, it does explore broad issues like environmentalism, public education, philosophical quandaries, and the flaws of opinion polls.

  • Calvin and Hobbes è un fumetto degli anni XX, disegnato da Matt Groening e realmente ispirato alle gesta di quel cretino che in un modo o nell'altro non prende mai l'aereo coi parenti. Oggi il personaggio di Calvin è più famoso per pisciare sulle magliette della gente[citazione necessaria].

  • Calvin and Hobbes is the first shame in the Calvin and Hobbes series. Unlike most shames, it is one of the infinite major storyline-less shame.
  • Calvin and Hobbes is a syndicated daily comic strip written and illustrated by American cartoonist Bill Watterson, and syndicated from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995. It follows the humorous antics of Calvin, a highly precocious and adventurous six-year-old boy, and Hobbes, his sardonic stuffed tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.
  • Calvin and Hobbes is an American Comic centered around the adventures and misadventures of Calvin and his pet tiger Hobbes. The plot focuses on 6 year old Calvin as he navigates life with the help of his very active imagination. Calvin mixes humor and visual gags with surprisingly poignant social commentary on life and relationships. Calvin and Hobbes frequently blurs the line between imagination and reality to the point where it is hard to distinguish one from the other.
  • The series confused many, as Hobbes himself was not born until 1588 - some 40 years after the show last aired. This seeming anachronism was explained by the fact that only Calvin could see Hobbes - leading to debate over if Hobbes was real or merely a figment of Calvin's imagination.
  • Calvin and Hobbes is an upcoming original Disney Fanon movie. It is also the first original movie to be adapted from a comic book series. It is based off of a comic book series by the same name. This adaption will be designed in a similar vein to Disney's version of Winnie-the-Pooh.
  • Calvin and (stuffed) Hobbes appear as an apparent friend of Stewie Griffin's in "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven". Calvin is voiced by Max Burkholder. In "Brothers & Sisters", Peter packs toys and tuna to run away. A recurring gag in Calvin and Hobbes.
  • A short and brutish comic about a boy named John Calvin and his stuffed tiger, Thomas Hobbes created by fancy-pants "artist" Bill Watterson. The comic is about their every day life and how Calvin's imagination brings Hobbes to life and causes all sorts of mischief. Calvin and Hobbes is a parody of young Stephen Colbert's bear hunting youth. The liberal media downsized Stephen's tiger buddy into a stuffed animal. The real Hobbes eats bears for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He and Stephen are still good friend often hunting bears together on weekends.
  • Calvin and Hobbes is a classic comic strip about a boy named Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes, who looks like a real, if not antropomorphic tiger, to Calvin. Any fic at all is rather confounding for the Calvin and Hobbes canon as it is a series of short strips, page spreads, and episodic short story arcs. In fact, Calvin and Hobbes ran as a newspaper comic strip in some areas. One of its overarching themes is the fun that kids have that adults always seem to miss. Calvin groaning at icky tuna casserole, staying up past his bedtime, making ridiculous winter snowmen, being pounced by Hobbes every time he gets home from school, and declaring girls are icky are primary subjects, all of which showcase childish reactions paired with a strangely mature style of reasoning.
