Calvin, make sure you take your foot out of your mouth before shifting it over to the other foot! You know the old saying “Let sleeping (tigers) lie”?! ;)
Yes, to me the genius of Watterson and C&H lies not in the relationship, the dialogue, the overall idea, but in the way BW draws Hobbes. He is able to convey the subtlest of emotions and expressions in that feline face. Really remarkable.
Calvin was saying that it wasn’t Hobbes lying there – Hobbes slipped out of his fur, left it lying on the floor as a rug and was running around nude – he was being facetious about a lazy Hobbes
Calvin and his pet tiger Hobbes are buddies. Calvin recites a poem to his pet tiger Hobbes because they are buddies. Calvin walks away from his pet tiger Hobbes and then Hobbes wonders when school starts.

not sure “School” ever starts, but school activities are already under way. (at least we lead the world in American Football and marching bands)

But Calvin is identifying the sprawled-out Hobbes as an empty fur coat and the real Hobbes elsewhere “running ’round nude.”

Another hilarious strip. The smile on my face is almost the same as commenter Hobbes avatar!
