I already feel bad for Calvin
This is the first time I’ve seen Hobbes as a plushy.
Welcome to the Calvin & Hobbes universe! Hobbes is shown as a stuffed animal anytime a human other than Calvin is in the picture.
anytime a human other than Calvin is in the picture
Correction: Any time a human other than Calvin has Hobbes in their field of view. In the comic where Hobbes attends a tea party with Susie (1986-05-31), there is one panel both she and Hobbes are looking at Calvin, and Hobbes is not depicted as a stuffed tiger.
This is why Calvin begins by taking Moe’s eyes.
Thanks for the correction! That’s a nice bit of additional trivia which I wasn’t aware of even though I’ve seen the tea party cartoon a thousand times. :)
Here it is, for reference: https://assets.amuniversal.com/9ed15af0deb801317193005056a9545d
I think Hobbes is only shown as true Tiger if the reader sees the world as Calvin sees it.
