In the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, what is Hobbes?
A boy
A mailman
A tiger
A dog
Fact: Hobbes is a tiger and the best friend of six-year-old Calvin in Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. To Calvin, Hobbes appears as a living, talking tiger who joins him on countless adventures, while everyone else sees Hobbes as an ordinary stuffed toy. Watterson deliberately left the true nature of Hobbes ambiguous, allowing readers to decide whether he actually comes to life or exists that way only through Calvin’s imagination. The comic strip ran from 1985 to 1995 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers worldwide.
Correct Answer: A tiger
