    Outside his imagination/how he sees the world, how did Calvin bind both of his own hands? IIRC, his mother eventually finds him like that…

      I mean, he could just not really be all that tide up and just be imagining a part of it.

      Hobbes obviously tied him up.

      I’ve always seen Hobbes similar to the toys in Toy Story, but Calvin is the only one he shows himself to.

        Watterson is great in that he lets people interpret Hobbes however they want. But for his part, I think he said that he personally thinks of Hobbes not as a toy that magically comes to life, but Calvin simply views him differently. That might sound mundane and boring, but I think it’s kind of beautiful. And again, it’s not the right answer, just one perspective!
