The introductory episode of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series|Calvin and Hobbes The Series]]'' is an adaption of the first two strips of the comic. Upon failing to get his mother to give him tuna (as bait for his tiger trap), Calvin manages to get some via bribing a kid to distract her. After catching Hobbes (first attempting to shoot him down, which doesn't work) and [[Literal Minded|"stuffing"]] him, Calvin introduces the wonders of imagination to him. And thus one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born!
