A Hobbes Stuffed Animal?

September 29th, 2008 by admin

For years I began my day reading the “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip. Each day Calvin, a small boy with a big imagination, hand an adventure with his stuffed animal, Hobbes.

Of course, Hobbes was alive in Calvin’s imagination. He was a faithful sidekick who always seemed to get the last word. Hobbes became a cartoon classic and people soon wanted to know where they could get a Hobbes stuffed animal.

But Bill Watterson, the creator “Calvin and Hobbes” refused any offers to merchandise his cartoon strip.

That meant I could not get my very own Hobbes. But that’s OK. I still have the comic strips, and, like Calvin, Hobbes is alive and well in my imagination.
