It's not a fan theory. Hobbes is just a tiger doll.

I don't think it's dark that a kid has an imaginary friend. He'll grow out of it.

I know Great Britain seems like a fantastical place, but I'm pretty sure Tony Blair was a real person in the real world.

Not gonna lie it would have been way more interesting if Harry was just actually insane.

Well i had friends at school. The real isolation is adulthood. Sure you meet people at work and stuff but it's super hard to make genuine connections at this age

Wait. Are a couple of you serious about not getting that the whole thing is about Calvins imagination? Hobbes is a stuffed doll brought to life in Calvins imagination, thats shown constantly.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Thats not established though. Watterson said that the gimmick of the strip is misunderstood, and that Hobbes is neither a figment of Calvins imagination, nor a doll that magically comes to life.

I thought it was pretty obvious, even as a kid. Calvin is constantly creating imaginary scenarios in his head like Spaceman Spiff, he's just a child with an active imagination.

Hobbes and Bacon are heart warming, not depressing.
although you could find a depressing one if you searched hard enough, it's the internet after all. they turned Garfield into depressing comic or an Eldrich abomination.

There was a strip where Hobbes took off all of Calvin's clothes and hung him in a tree when hornets were chasing him. You telling me Calvin did that to himself?

sure you could argue that he had a mental illness or something.

as for myself, i just saw him as a kid using his imagination. which is pretty relatable with most kids, including me. lol

now that i'm older i think it really is magic. everyone's just fucking brainwashed into thinking they're reading a comic about a kid with an active imagination but it really is a magic tiger and we're all just fucked in the head.

Bill Watterson has openly stated that he deliberately left "the two states of Hobbes" ambiguous.

Is Hobbes just a toy that Calvin pretends is alive? Or does he magically come to life whenever just Calvin is around?

It's whatever you think it is.

Hobbes isn't a magical stuffed toy that comes to life. He's always been alive, it's just that Calvin's parents and everyone around him don't believe in stuff like that, while Calvin does.

When you don't believe Hobbes appears to be a regular toy, when you do believe you see Hobbes for how he really is, a great friend.
