The name of the strip was a clue that it was about more than a boy and his stuffed tiger.

The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.[2] At its height, Calvin and Hobbes was featured in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide; as of January 2010, reruns of the strip still appear in more than 50 countries. Nearly 45 million copies of the 18 Calvin and Hobbes books have been sold.

My sons loved Calvin and Hobbes. Had most of their books.

The boys lived in our basement. No bathroom but there was a sliding patio door that opened into our backyard.

I could never get grass to grow outside that door.
