Calvin & Hobbes = Theologian & Philosopher?

WHO KNEW?
The endearing and universally adored duo - Calvin & Hobbes, are named after a 16th century influential French theologian and pastor and a 17th century English political philosopher, respectively!!

Calvin believed in predestination & Hobbes had a dim view of the human nature. Makes sense.


Calvin and Hobbes was first published on November 18, 1985.
The last strip was published on December 31, 1995.

Bill Watterson is the creator of the comic strip.
"A real job is a job you hate" - Watterson.
Wise words.



I thought Susie Derkins deserved a mention in the column. Just because I love her so much.
