The introductory episode of 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 "stuffing" him, Calvin introduces the wonders of imagination to him. And thus one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born!


Tropes:

  No one knows why his hair does that. Is it static electricity? Is it hair gel? No, probably not.

 Calvin: I can shoot you down. I'm an excellent aim.

  • Calvin fires his dart gun, hitting Hobbes in the nose**

Calvin: I meant to do that.

  • We Need a Distraction: Calvin bribes another kid with 2 dollars to distract his mother while he makes a tuna fish sandwich to capture a tiger with.
