It’s even more amazing that a kid Calvin’s age both knows the word and can correctly spell “transmogrifier.” (OTOH, the spell-check doesn’t seem to know the word…) A true genius.
Ah, the Transmogrifier. It’s here that Calvin and Hobbes goes in a fun and wonderful direction. It’s worth noting that the Transmogrifier arc comes after the dying raccoon arc and the destroyed forest arc. Perhaps Bill Watterson realized that after two depressing (but necessary) storylines in a row, something more upbeat was needed.

A few days ago, I said Calvin could be a biologist. I might have just changed my mind, he should become an inventor.

Yes, Hobbes, but, no more amazing than what they can do with stuffed animals.

Great example what a child’s imagination can come up with if allowed.

This strip is one of the most important for Calvin and Hobbes.

Why would Hobbes want to be anything else? He’s already a tiger!
