The plushie Hobbes, the tiger

ex-aequo with or maybe even a tad more than Les aventures d’Astérix le Gaulois, Calvin and Hobbes is my absolute undisputed favorite comic. I don’t know why, this silly comment I just posted over there on Lemmy kinda mattered, to me at the very least, and that I should put it here too.

Don’t know about you guys, but it always both shocks and delights me to see Hobbes represented as a plushie.

I mean, Hobbes is a tiger, the tigerest tiger there is and ever will be. But, yeah, at the same time the plushie painfully reminds us (or is it just me?) of what we’ve lost becoming adults.

I also love how Hobbes is a plushie when there is an adult visible in the frame. So brilliant.
