Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

Outside his imagination/how he sees the world, how did Calvin bind both of his own hands? IIRC, his mother eventually finds him like that...
I mean, he could just not really be all that tide up and just be imagining a part of it.
Hobbes obviously tied him up.
I've always seen Hobbes similar to the toys in Toy Story, but Calvin is the only one he shows himself to.
Watterson is great in that he lets people interpret Hobbes however they want. But for his part, I think he said that he personally thinks of Hobbes not as a toy that magically comes to life, but Calvin simply views him differently. That might sound mundane and boring, but I think it's kind of beautiful. And again, it's not the right answer, just one perspective!
