What’s it about?
Mostly, it’s about six year old Calvin and his overactive
imagination. His best friend is a
stuffed Tiger named Hobbes, with whom he invents numerous characters and
stories, ranging from Spaceman Spiff, Captain Stupendous, tyrannosaurs (usually
based on his mother), alien invasions (usually based on both parents), and far
far more.
The perils of Calvin’s life can be summarised thus:
School, bathtime, Rosalyn the babysitter, school photos,
camping trips, his long suffering neighbour neighbour Susie and his very
attentive parents.
