!!Calvin is a Time Lord
Come on, he does travel in time. About his inability to do schoolwork, compare with Susan Foreman in the very first episode of DoctorWho.
* That would make the cardboard box his TARDIS. Also, the Doctor is mentioned to have been bad at a number of his classes on Gallifrey, and yet he is very knowledgeable when he goes on historical trips, so Calvin seeming BookDumb isn't much of a stretch.
** Also, his T.A.R.D.I.S. has three levels of camouflage. A '''working''' chameleon curcuit -- it looks like a cardboard box. A perception filter -- so no-one throws aforementioned cardboard box out, as refuse. Finally, a real cardboard box clamped to the front-door, if anyone manages to get past the perception filter and looks in they'll just see a cardboard box interior.
** Calvin isn't BookDumb. He just finds the American school system a waste of his time. He'd rather read up on things like dinosaurs. Or he's hiding his intelligence so he doesn't get sussed out like Susan.
* Hobbes is his companion.
** HOBBES is the Time Lord who came to mentor Calvin, who is destined to grow up to become some all-powerful superbeing. The cardboard box is the TARDIS. Also, Hobbes' personality perfectly matches the (Tenth) Doctor to the letter when the Doctor has fun. Complete with 'girls are fun, but I'm not quite sure how to deal with them'. And who else but a Time Lord would find CalvinBall interesting?
** Who DOESN'T find Calvinball interesting? Are we ''all'' Time Lords??
*** This explains why Hobbes wanted out from Calvin piloting the cardboard box - with the doors open and exposing yourself to the time vortex!
*** That's what the goggles are for.

* Calvin is a young Time lord who was John Smithed and shipped off to earth by his parents in hopes of saving him from the Daleks when the Time War turned sour. His TARDIS quickly became an inconspicuous cardboard box, but the object into which Calvin's time lord memories were locked, randomly chosen and hastily created, did not function without unexpected side affects. With Calvin's Time Lord memories and persona in such an easily manipulated form, a stuffed tiger, it quickly began to function as its own distinct consciousness, calling itself 'Hobbes' in reference to Calvin's true Time Lord title- The Philosopher. 
!!Calvin is NOT a Time Lord, but the cardbord box IS a TARDIS.
As stated above the cardbord box does do an awful lot of weird stuff. However, if calvin were really a time lord, he would have remembered to turn the [[WeirdnessCensor safty switch]] off before trying to profit from it. That, and he would have a Sonic Screwdriver. Ms. Wormwood might be the Time Lord who lost it, but that's just me.
* Perhaps Hobbes is the Time Lord, disguised as a stuffed animal, and Calvin is his only companion.
!!Hobbes is Secretly a Fob Watch.
Calvin is a young Time lord who was [[TemporarilyTurnedHumanThroughSeparationIntoAHumanAndAnInanimateObjectGenerallyAndCanonicallyAFobWatch John Smithed]] and shipped off to earth in hopes of saving at least one member of the race from the Daleks when the Time War turned sour. 
His TARDIS quickly became an inconspicuous cardboard box, but the object into which Calvin's time lord memories were locked, randomly chosen and hastily created, did not function without unexpected side affects.

[[WMG: WMG/FoxTrot]]
!!Jason is a Time Lord
He was sent to Earth when the Time War turned sour, had his TARDIS taken away, his memories of being a Time Lord wiped and placed into the Fox Family, where a spell was put over to make everyone (inculding Jason) think he'd been there all along. His book smarts come from faint unwiped Time Lord memories where he'd go on trips in his TARDIS to historical events where he'd see them unwrapping before his eyes.
* Oh, and [[CalvinandHobbes Calvin]] was either a former or later regeneration of Jason.

[[WMG: WMG/{{Dilbert}}]]
!!The Garbage Man is [[DoctorWho a Time lord]]
The Garbage truck is his TARDIS.
!!Wally is a Timelord
He's a deserter from the Time War, who made a life for himself on Earth. He coped with the death of his people by perfecting not caring into an art form.

[[WMG: WMG/FootrotFlats]]
!!The Dog is a canine [[DoctorWho Time Lord]].
He refuses to let his name be given for the same reason every other Time Lord does. His TARDIS is his water tank.

[[WMG: WMG/{{Peanuts}}]]
!!Snoopy is a Time Lord
We've seen the inside of his doghouse, and it is larger on the inside than it is on the outside, just like a TARDIS. Snoopy's time as a WWI Flying Ace who fought The Red Baron - despite living in modern times - has been well documented. And, depending on how frequently he travels back and forth in time, it's likely that some of his personas (Joe Cool and the like) are other regenerations of his; he keeps coming back to check up on his old companions like The Brown Children, taking care to avoid the Blinovitch Limitation Effect.
** I jossed this earlier as there is a StoryArc where the doghouse is burned down and rebuilt. The more likely event is that Snoopy has created a series of tunnels in his doghouse.
