    It really bothers me that they’re using the hashtag to indicate “here’s the beginning of an independent clause they isn’t the very first sentence.”

      Sometimes people reblog and add tags like these. It was explained to me as “the person have something to say about the topic – but not really”.

    What is Tigress from? I though they were the ‘tiger who came for tea’ before reading that.

    Also I bet Tony has wanted to eviscerate more than one sticky space invading screaming child in his time.

      That’s absolutely not canon.

      When an interviewer talked about Hobbes being a creation of Calvin’s imagination, he said:

      “That’s the assumption that adults make because nobody else sees him, sees Hobbes, in the way that Calvin does”.

      He specifically dodges the question of whether or not Hobbes is a stuffed animal or not.

        Isn’t there also an instance of a kid, maybe Cindy, playing along with Hobbes like he’s real? Am I making that up? I don’t think we see him as a real tiger with her though.
