Atleast the new improved version has one improvement - it has given Calvin a level playing field. In the original version, the fatalist’s fate was in Hobbes’ hands. What if [shudder] Hobbes had set the dial to “Calvin the Angel” ?
The owl looks like a mad, pouting Calvin. But when Mom enters the room, she will have no problem. They will just look like her little boy and a stuffed toy tiger.
This is a problem. If Hobbes is a figment of Calvin’s imgaination, and Calvin turns Hobbes into Calvin, then “Calvin” turns Calvin into “Hobbes”, Hobbes will cease to exist, and Calvin will be stuck as a stuffed tiger forever.

If they can’t remember who’s who, does it matter? One of them be Calvin and the other be Hobbes. Problem solved.

I think Calvin gives a hoot.
I think Mom always saw Calvin as a rabid animal anyway.

Why not both be Hobbes and let Mum sort it out. Mothers are good at that sort(ing) of things.

Now that’s what I call an honest fight.

Calvin’s poor mother. How that woman isn’t in an institution for the insane is beyond me.

An inventive storyline which also gives the artist something different to draw.

What a great strip to follow on a Sunday. We get to see all the transmogrified images in color as well as the changing colors in the ZAPS. Love it.

Would have been funnier if Hobbes,as Hobbes, had zapped Calvin into a lady tiger.

Now, aerwalt, this is a family comic strip, but what the heck, that would have been good.

Yeah, I know. We moms are kill-joys with no imagination.

This is nearly as bad as women changing their hair color, only to realize they despise it, so they change it back to the original again.

no, yukoner, they can’t both be Hobbes - remember what happened when they transmogrified Calvin into a tiger?
Funny how Calvin is the owl, even though Hobbes is the smarter and wiser of the two!
