Line 117:
** That is a very insensitive anti-fandom-prejudice-fueled remark, my friend. This one was a nice WMG in itself.
*** It's a bit inconclusive. Calvin's love of stuffed animals and his rich fantasy life are standard gear for any imaginative youngster, and most people who are similar to Calvin as kids don't grow up to be furries.
*** Maybe so, but most kids like to alternate between animal and human fantasy pals. Calvin sticks almost ''exclusively'' to animal ones, and there's his repeated declarations that [[Humans Are
*** What about Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous man and Tracer Bullet? Between them they probably outnumber animal based imaginings.
**** ...and you maintain the strip's focus on Calvin and Hobbes, and you keep the cast nicely manageable. Honestly, does anyone out there really think Bill Watterson was writing about furries the whole time? I bet he barely knows what a furry is.
Line 159:
** Here are the living toy levels:
*** Level one: [[The Christmas Toy]]: the toy must go back to its original position or else be frozen forever.
*** Level two: [[Toy Story]], [[The Brave Little Toaster]]: the toy can change from playing dead to alive at will and have limited communications with animals. They must play dead to hide from humans, other sapient races (Like [[Mechanical Lifeforms]] and [[Funny Animal
*** Level three: Hobbes: Can only be seen by select members of sapient races. Otherwise seen as a toy.
*** Level four: [[Winnie the Pooh]], [[Cars]]: Is always seen as alive, but people know the being is a toy.

== Calvin is related to [[Winnie the Pooh|Christopher Robin]] on one of his parents' side. ==
* Option A) If it is his mother's side, it explains both Calvin's ability to interact with Hobbes and his mother's occasional manifestation of this
* Option B) If it's his father's side, it explains why Hobbes' personality is so much like Calvin's Dad's -- Hobbes is very old, made from the rags of Tigger, and has been passed down from Christopher Robin to his son, to Calvin's dad, and the personality traits run in the family, causing Hobbes to pick up on them. If this is the case, Hobbes used to be a toy of Calvin's dad, who also could communicate with Hobbes, and has memories of this even though he thinks he just made them up.
Line 467:
Calvin's dad likes bicycling so much, I could imagine him as a teenager trying to woo Calvin's mom with the idea that "nothing is more romantic than a bicycle built for two."
** That sounds less like a WMG and more like the premise for an adorable fanfiction. I suggest that Calvin's parents are named [[Genius Bonus|Joyce and Eliot.]]

[http://i35.tinypic.com/25roxup.jpg Perhaps the greatest evidence for this is in the strip where Calvin's out shopping with Hobbes and his mom, and Hobbes is watching him try on sunglasses. Notice anything familiar about the pair he's seen wearing as his mom sends him back to the rack?] Additionally, they're both adventurous, boistrous, loudmouthed, and violent. Also, look at Calvin's hair - three spikes sticking up. Now look at Kamina's - three spiky bangs over the forehead. Therefore, eventually he decided to slick that part down. Not to mention that Kamina's tactics are pretty much [[Indy Ploy
After the events of the strip, as Calvin got older, some cataclysm occured that caused humanity to move underground, however, Calvin's father, being the character-building "no-pain-no-gain" advocate he is, insisted on returning to the surface. Calvin declined, but as time went on, he resented his choice, and went on his path of ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWA, creating a new identity for himself by dyeing his hair blue, getting tattoos, and getting around to buying a pair of sunglasses just like the ones he coveted as a child, in addition to renaming himself Kamina. Hobbes was his [[Team Pet]] and equivalent of Boota until they were parted somehow some time before he met Simon and went on his adventures with him. Eventually, however, having forgot his childhood membership of '''G'''et '''R'''id '''O'''f '''S'''limy Girl'''s''', he ended up falling in love with Yoko until they kissed. This triggered memories of his old club, which set him off-course for a little while, a condition that ultimately costed him his life, but not before he became a great hero of mankind and motivated his young pupil to take over Team Dai-Gurren and save the universe.

== ''Calvin and Hobbes'' and ''[[Garfield]]'' take place in the same universe. ==
The connection is [http://garfield.wikia.com/wiki/Lyman Lyman]. He disappears from ''Garfield'' in 1983, then a few years later reappears in ''Calvin & Hobbes''. Lyman is Calvin's [http://calvin.doriennesmith.com/comics/28.php Uncle Max]: his full name is Max Lyman. The evidence is that [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iRE1f7T37Zk/TU_ELSUX_PI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/5t-hEW8zlN8/s1600/14.+Imaginary+Friend.gif Max] and [http://uploads.neatorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lyman.jpg Lyman] look the same, and have a similar sartorial taste. The few differences between the two (such as Max's bigger nose) can be explained by different artistic impressions of the same character. Max's hairline has receded somewhat since he was living with Jon, but there are years between his disappearance from Garfield and reappearance in Calvin & Hobbes, so that certainly could've happened. Max being Lyman also explain why he's [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iRE1f7T37Zk/TU_ELSUX_PI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/5t-hEW8zlN8/s1600/14.+Imaginary+Friend.gif worried about Calvin's imaginary friend], and why he says that all of his friends might've been imaginary too. When he was living Jon, they were caught up in a [[wikipedia:Folie
== Either Calvin or Hobbes is a [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]], maybe both are. ==
Line 651:
== [[Calvin and Hobbes]] takes place in a world where people have no imagination. ==
This is a good guess on the fact that everyone thinks Calvin is so weird, they have no imagination! After the final strip, they called the government to take Calvin away and see what in the world was wrong with him, and, after examining him for quite some time, they realized that Calvin was happy when he was being creative, (his various inventions, his amusing snowmen), so they had everyone in town and used a special device to implant imagination into their heads, and Calvin's town became a much better place, and Calvin was hailed as a hero.
== Calvin is an alternate, male version of [[BioShock Infinite|Elizabeth]]. ==
