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.
