So this is a comic strip. Not Calvin’s imagination or a matter of who Hobbs really is. It is actually Watterson’s imagination to entertain or inform us. So we shouldn’t lose the forest for the trees. Is it entertaining us? (Most often, yes.) Is it informing us? (It is making us think about our experiences and our lives.) Because I think that beyond dispute, it is the highest quality and most imaginative comic ever produced. So regardless of who Calvin is and who Hobbs is, I think the world is a better place for Watterson putting so much thought and effort when applying ink to paper. That is my pompous and unasked for two cents for the day.
