    For an imaginary friend, Hobbes is quite skilled.

    Ah, this infamous storyline. The one that REALLY made people question whether Hobbes was really just in Calvin’s imagination.

    Calvin the ‘Great Calvini’ & Hobbes the ‘Great Comedian’, what a pair.

    When mom and dad see this, they’re going to be even more perplexed than normally.

    So much for the idea that Hobbes is “imaginary.” Calvin couldn’t tie himself up like that sitting in a chair.

    And for a brief moment in time, Hobbes became real verifying Calvin’s imagination and it would carry him through the rest of his life.

    Hobbes lives in Calvin’s imagination. Could not Calvin look at a few strands of rope across his lap and imagine himself tied up? I forget how the story line goes, but being tied up to the point of immobility may exist only in Calvin’s mind. Any parental comments (How did you get tied up so thoroughly that you can’t move?!) could also exist in his mind.

    Bloom County is doing a mashup where Hobbes is standing in for Steve Dallas. https://www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed/photos/a.114529165244512.10815.108793262484769/1775872079110204/?type=3&theater

    I wonder if Calvin’s mom will try to pay Hobbes to leave him like that…

    It’s not the challenge of escaping the ropes he needs to worry about, it’s the challenge of escaping the time restraint.

    It is a comic; for more pleasure let’s suspend our disbelief.

    Unlike in “Non Sequitur” where as Lucy, the miniature Clydesdale, is real and only talks to Danae, Hobbs is never seen alive by anyone else and yet things like this suggests there is more to this than just imagination. Maybe he is a thought-form. In Tibet they are called “Tulpas”. There is a danger of it developing its own intelligence and becomes destructive. You have to uncreate them then or else they become a danger.

    Did Hobbes just make a pun?

    Funny, I just watched an episode of Alfred Hitchcock last night where Richard Long’s character asks to be tied up to make his wife think they’ve been robbed when she returns home and finds him unable to move. She takes advantage of the situation to kill him. Luckily for Calvin, Hobbs is much nicer than that.
