Calvin and Hobbes became

seen daily in hundred of newspapers and enjoyed by millions. Calvin is a
quirky 6 years old boy who has a pet stuffed animal tiger names Hobbes.
But to Calvin, Hobbes is alive. Together, they constantly get into
mischief. Hobbes often acts as Calvin’s conscious, but being a tiger,
he also acts upon his whims. Calvin’s parents can also be quite funny.
Calvin always seems to be testing his mother. And Calvin’s father’s
explanations of how things work are always hilarious. And then there is
Calvin’s arch nemesis, Susie. Usually innocent of all wrongdoing,
Calvin loves to harass her. But she always beats Calvin in the end.
