This sums up the explanation that Bill Watterson gives for his wonderful strip in The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. After stating that he does NOT see Hobbes as either a doll who comes to life nor a product of Calvin’s imagination, he explains, “Calvin sees Hobbes one way. Everyone else sees him another way. I think this is how life works. No two people see the world in exactly the same way.”
Just think, if Calvin had a smart phone at the time, he could have taken videos! Talk about instant fame and fortune! That’s just what the world would have needed, a young lad with Calvin’s imagination with an unlimited financial stream, public acclaim, and access to social media!

I’ve had fantasies of being a famous artist when I was young—but those dreams died many years ago.

The film store KEEPS the prize-winning dinosaur shots, and tells Mom, “Sorry; no photos came out.”

Cal is smart, but to remove 35mm film is nothing to play with, loading or unloading. He may have lost a couple. We’ll see.

If you could time travel and take real photos of dinosaurs or anything from the past. Most people would think they were fake.

Should have taken a Polaroid camera. You know how time travel cuts across magnetic fields, generating Cherenkov radiation that fogs film, right?
