I'm trying to figure out why Calvin is even used, and all I can get is the lame almost-ryhme in the title. Calvin could be anyone or no one, all the character does is stand there and say "What's the punchline, Mr. Jobs?"
- SirWart 18y agoWell he uses Moe, which is another character from Calvin and Hobbes in the strip. Overall it's mostly Jobs though. Also, Jobs doesn't take on any of the characteristics of Hobbes, who is usually the voice of reason, which I think would have been clever.
- thwarted 18y agoSo you think it could be like http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ ?
- icky 18y agoJobs minus Hobbes minus Calvin? (Hell, Hobbes minus Calvin would be trippy enough, since Hobbes is the imaginary friend...)
- benjamincanfly 18y agoNot imaginary.
- icky 18y ago(First off, let's be clear that I'm using "real" and "imaginary" in the context of the fictional world of the comic strip). The portion of Hobbes that is real is just an inanimate stuffed toy tiger. Hobbes as a motile, living, thinking being exists entirely as a figment in Calvin's mind, projected into the object of the toy tiger. So Hobbes the toy is real, while Hobbes the being is imaginary.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoWhat?! Hobbes doesn't actually talk??? Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
- benjamincanfly 18y agoI prefer to think of the motile, living, thinking Hobbes as a real being that most people can't see.
- yef 18y agoBecause we all miss Calvin and Hobbes. So it makes us feel nice to see Calvin again, even if it's not the "real" one.
