Both Calvin and Hobbes were named after philosophers, who disagreed on the existence of "free will" vs. "predestination" and that argument is a big part of the strip. Hobbes the tiger turns back into a stuffed toy when anyone but Calvin sees him. I liked it because I was the kind of kid who would have had that kind of discussion with an imaginary friend.

Thanks for the chuckle 'Drea.
