Calvin and Hobbes - 2

Calvin's Dad: Calvin's dad is a middle aged attorney, who is down-to-earth and sensible. He is viewed as a typical Middle-Class father by Calvin. His interests include, camping and bike rides. Calvin's father is portrayed giving vague and outright false answers to Calvin's questions at all times. His refusal and nonsensical responses indicate the adult world's unwillingness to share the knowledge or deliberate distortion of reality. Calvin's behavior often causes Dad annoyance, sometimes provoking him to yell at Calvin.

Calvin's Mom: Calvin's mom is a stay-home parent who enjoys gardening and reading. She is usually exasperated by Calvin's actions. She is frequently the one forced to curb Calvin's destructive tendencies. Although Calvin's actions drive her crazy she loves him very much. In one of the comic strips she is shown shouting at her husband saying "It's all your fault we didn't have a sweet little girl! Your stupid chromosome, not MINE!". This was only after getting frustrated with Calvin's deeds on a regular basis.

Will come back again with more characters and their details.

Calvin and Hobbes - 1

Calvin: Named after a 16th century theologian is an impulsive, imaginative, intelligent, energetic, curious, cute and bad tempered six year old kid.
I fell in love with this kid as soon as I started reading the comic strip. He has a large vocabulary and an emerging philosophical mind. His concentration is extremely corrupt and his grades are very low.

All his conversations are spontaneous, the character never has a filter between his mouth and his brain. He is extremely intelligent for his age, he is rude and bad tempered, yet the one thing I absolutely love about Calvin is that he has no sense of restraint, nor the experience yet to know the things that you shouldn't do.

Hobbes:For everyone else Hobbes is just Calvin's stuffed toy. But for Calvin he is human like tiger (more anthropomorphic)much larger than Calvin and full of independent attitudes and ideas. But when the perspective shifts to any other character, we see Hobbes as a stuffed animal.

Let's begin our blog with some of the famous comic strips that originated in the 18th century. Will elaborate more on the different other characters in the strips and the author in my next blogs.
