The other day I was browsing through the net and found some really intersting stuff about Calvin and Hobbes. Read on and enjoy...
- The idea of Hobbes pouncing on Calvin was from Bill's cat, Sprite.
- The first time Hobbes attacked Calvin was in his room, not the front door.
- Calvin writes with both hands.
- In the Duplicator story, as the duplicates run into the box to get away from Calvin's mom, in one panel there is one too many Calvins (seven instead of six), and the extra Calvin does not have a striped shirt.
- Calvin will be wearing a glove on a different hand in each panel in the baseball strips.
- There are 8 different sofas in Calvin's house.
- Calvin's robotic doctor's name is Doctor 5-40.
Calvin's monster snowman is called The Torment Of Existence Weighed Against The Horror Of Nonbeing. - Calvin's teacher Ms. Wormwood was a character in Matilda she played Mrs. Wormwood in that too.
- Calvin is a fan of Star Wars, Batman, and Bugs Bunny, but despises anything from Disney.
- Calvin's parents have three cars. Two hatchbacks and one sedan of unknown color.
- Calvin has two favorite cereals, Crunchy Sugar Bombs, and Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, although he is forced to eat oatmeal, and sometimes Bran.
