  I mean this one is just reality. I’m not sure Garfield is a figment of Jon’s imagination Edit: if you want to ruin your day, check out this C&H fan art https://www.reddit.com/r/calvinandhobbes/comments/6vwll2/is_this_a_real_calvin_and_hobbes_comic_strip_i/ https://www.reddit.com/r/calvinandhobbes/comments/6vwll2/is_...

    Garfield is certainly (meant to be) real, but I've never seen a strip that confirms that Jon can actually hear Garfield's thoughts. I think that's why Garfield minus Garfield works so well.

    > I mean this one is just reality. I’m not sure Garfield is a figment of Jon’s imagination It's not reality. Hobbes it's not unambiguously stated to be a figment of Calvin's imagination either. That's a fine interpretation but it's not canonical. Watterson wanted the ambiguity, as Wikipedia mentions (sorry, I don't have the interview with the direct quote where Watterson states this): > "[Watteron] gave an example of this in discussing his opposition to a Hobbes plush toy: that if the essence of Hobbes' nature in the strip is that it remain unresolved whether he is a real tiger or a stuffed toy, then creating a real stuffed toy would only destroy the magic."
