History WMG / CalvinAndHobbes

* That's why after he ge

** Calvin actually ''did'' try to feed Moe to Hobbes at one point. The only reason Moe didn't meet the same fate as that other bully is because he thought a teacher was watching and decided to stop picking on Calvin. Next time he won't be so lucky...

We all know that Calvin hates the food at his school's cafeteria, and Calvin has tried to obtain explosives so many times, it must have happened once. Think about it; nobody could prove that he did it if he set the explosives on a timer,
and it is bad enough to invoke the wrath of Santa and for him to be scared of his teacher telling his parents about it. His teacher would tell his mom about it because of Calvin's bad reputation, but she would still not be able to prove Calvin did it.

** Combine it with the ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}, Pooh, ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} and Literature/{{HarryPotter}} one, and you get a really big family.

* Their spiky hair. Their distaste for a society that shuns them. The constant philosophical tirades they have with a seemingly imaginary friend. In fact the way Johnny talks to the teddy bear Shmee looks and sounds like how Calvin talked to Hobbes when around other people.

* I mean consider their similarities. Their spiky hair. Their distaste for society. The constant philosophical tirades they have with seemingly imaginary adversaries. In fact, consider the way Johnny talks to the teddy bear Shmee and tell me it's not a very similar vibe.

Come on, NO ONE had few friends growing up and spent a lot of time with their toys instead, giving personalities to them and having adventures with them? NO ONE used their imagination to play by themselves if and when they had no one else to play with?

Self explanatory.

* Alternately, the Joker is an alternate universe Calvin. (His father doesn't strike me as the guy who would cut up his son's stuffed tiger in front of him, when putting him in a yard sale would be the best way to get it to go, nor is he one to physically scar him even on accident and feel nothing of it. And even If he did, why would Calvin kill his mother too since she wasn't even part of it?). Alternate Calvin's father could've done something like this and the reason he never mentions Hobbes is because he doesn't want to

* If you want to get ''really'' out there, Viral could be an evolved Hobbes, much like how Guame evolved from a Boota-like pet armadillo to his present form, or how Boota became a [[PettingZooPeople Petting Zoo Person]] in the Multi-Dimensional Labyrinth. After all, Viral is catlike, and it'd explain his fixation with Kamina...

After they died, they were each sent to an alternate universe to prevent them from getting into heaven (Calvin so that he wouldn't convert everyone in heaven to Calvinism and Hobbes so that he wouldn't try to declare himself supreme ruler of the universe.) For some reason, Calvin had his age permanently reduced to 6 years old and Hobbes was transformed into a stuffed/occasionally non-stuffed tiger. Calvin eventually went crazy attempting to rationalize this during the approximately 100 years between his death and Hobbes's, while Hobbes just assumed that he had always been a tiger and had only dreamed he was a human. Of course, this would also imply that God has a big problem with Calvinism for some reason, and that writing ''Literature/{{Leviathan}}'' was part of a plot for WorldDomination...

* Then, [[http://www.joeydevilla.com/2008/01/09/calvin-and-hobbes-off-the-ritalin-and-high-on-life/ this]] happens and the CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming comes right back.

* Thus, the ending is indeed a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

*** Then it'sw simple: every strip where Calvin's age is NOT explicitly stated can be set in every time period, wheter is the one when Calvin is 6 or when he doesn't.

* It's even simplier: every strip where Calvin's age is NOT explicitly stated can be set in every time period, wheter is the one when Calvin is 6 or when he doesn't.

* Uncle Max said "Sometimes I think ALL my friends have been imaginary." It can mean that all Max' friends backstabbed him, but we can also think that Max, as a kid, was like Calvin, and he grown too isolated from his contemporaries. Practically, he doesn't want his nephew to walk in the same unpleasant experience.

[[WMG:Calvin is in [[AliceInWonderland Wonderland]].]]

[[WMG:Toys like Hobbes die when their kid owners stop believing in them.]]

Hobbes is aware of this, and subtly keeps attempting to defy all possibility of Calvin being able to brush his experiences with Hobbes off as "imagination" by creating paradoxes, like tying Calvin to chair, so Calvin will believe in him/keep him alive longer. Similar to {{The Velveteen Rabbit}}'s situation.

Calvin's dad used to own Hobbes, and still remembers talking to him, but knows that no one will believe him if he says so. He loves Hobbes and would never get rid of him, but can't play with him anymore, so he tied Hobbes up in a tree, planted the idea of capturing a tiger in Calvin's head, and then, while ObfuscatingStupidity, prodded Calvin into making Hobbes into a friend. Hobbes and Calvin's dad planned this out together and are keeping it a secret from Calvin until he's ready to give Hobbes up. Eventually, Calvin will [[http://www.coffeeandcigarettes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/thefuture1.jpg do the same thing for his kid.]]
* In addition, Calvin's dad and Hobbes either have an agreement that Hobbes will appear stuffed when Calvin's dad is in the room, or that Calvin's dad will pretend to not see Hobbes as real. Or perhaps, Hobbes can only be seen by one person, and will never be able to be seen by Calvin's dad after being given to Calvin.
** It's more likely that Calvin's mom was the previous owner of Hobbes, shown by her talking to him for comfort and in the raccoon arc and crying out for him in the Yukon arc. (To which Calvin's dad looks at her like she's crazy and she gets embarrassed.)

Hobbes is aware of this, and subtly keeps attempting to defy all possibility of Calvin being able to brush his experiences with Hobbes off as "imagination" by creating paradoxes, like tying Calvin to chair, so Calvin will believe in him/keep him alive longer.

[[WMG:The last strip took place shortly after Calvin killed his parents.]]

* Especially frightening when you consider that before the final strip, Calvin made a Snowman with an ice-cream-scoop in his back and tells Hobbes "[[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids It's a sordid story]]."

Hobbes's is the ghost of Calvin's twin brother, who died before birth, and manifests through Calvin's stuffed animal. This is why only Calvin can see and hear him, as Hobbes only manifests for his twin brother.

* A certain [[WMG/GrandUnifyingGuesses Grand Unifying Guess]] related to this is present under PoisonOakEpilepticTrees, if you care to scar yourself.
