Calvin and Hobbes/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The one where Calvin and Hobbes figure out that they can play together all night by dreaming about each other, then go to bed saying they'll see each other soon. Seems more like a [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]], until the 10th Anniversary compilation where Bill Watterson revealed that he wrote that strip after the death of his cat Sprite, who was the major inspiration for Hobbes' look and personality. "We can always meet again in dreams."

* The last strip (and the name of the last book) of the comic's run is definitely tragic on a meta level. "[[And the Adventure Continues...|It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy. Let's go exploring]]!!"

{{quote|As sweet as a plum, ad lovely as dawn, rolling its tongue over its gums:

My tiger and me, as happy as could be, sat out on the porch as the whole of the sky clouds quietly over.

And it starts to cry, softly, on my shoulder.

We don't want to grow up, but we have to grow up. As sad as I am, I do understand. I do understand, it just makes me sad.

My tiger, my friend, my little godsend. I know someday we'll be happy again. }}
