Line 92:
* One problem: a Sunday strip implies that Frazz grew up on a farm (Holden wishes we could go back to an agrarian society for longer summer breaks. Frazz starts giggling and his girlfriend basically says he spent his summers "bailing hay"). Calvin's parents live in the suburbs and never go into the country much less own a farm... unless they move there after the strip ended. Ooh, that gives me an idea!
* Also, Fazzverse seems to have the same sort of [[Groundhog Day Loop]] as Calvin and Hobbes. Furthermore, if Ms. Olsen/Ms. Wormwood was Frazz/Calvin's teacher, then the school is the same, therefore the ''school'' is what prevents kids from growing ups, and so Calvin only satrts to age when his parents move to the farm. It all makes sense!
* After I saw [https://web.archive.org/web/20100528072641/http://comics.com/zoom/305983/ this strip,] I decided that this is definitely the case. I mean, [http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=calvin+and+hobbes+sled&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=YIlBS5K3OYbetgPMsN2sBQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=5&ved=0CCQQsAQwBA sledding?]
** [http://comics.com/frazz/2010-12-26/ This one]{{Dead link}} seems to indicate that SOMEONE on that sled has had past experiences with busting up a sled or two.
== Calvin (age 6) moves to the country and becomes the Boy (~10) from [[Cow And Boy]] ==
Line 218:
"Let's go exploring!" Soon after, the sled crashes for the final time. Calvin's obscene luck regarding said crashes runs out.
* Congratulations, you've written the single most depressing WMG ever.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20150304100201/http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/calvin2.gif I cried.]
* By the way, this was used as a one-off gag in ''[[Lio]]''. (''Lio'' is like that—the day of this writing, it had [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] cut in half.)
Line 292:
Hobbes : "Everything FAMILIAR has disappeared
Calvin : "A fresh clean start"
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20150304100201/http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/calvin2.gif Shortly after that, he got lost in the forest and starved to death, since there was nobody to look for him.]
* especially frightening when you consider that before the final strip, Calvin made a Snowman with an ice-cream-scoop in his back and tells Hobbes "[[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|It's a sordid story.]]" and the last time we see his parents, Mom was scolding at his Dad to "[[No Indoor Voice|Shut the door]]"
Line 356:
== The identity of the famous [[Noodle Incident]] was... ==
An [[Accidental Kiss]] via spaghetti (noodles) a la ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]''. The recipient? [[Toy Ship|Susie Derkins]]. [[That Didn't Happen]], obviously. Or, if that's too squicky, she dropped her lunch and he shared his noodles with her... point being, it wasn't a prank. Calvin would be ''proud'' of that.
* [http://www.steph-angel.com/blog/wp-images/calvin%20and%20hobbes/noodle-incident.gif The noodle incident was clearly something morally wrong]{{Dead link}}, because Hobbes mentions it when Calvin states that he's been good all year. Those two theories just aren't bad enough.
** In that context, [
* [[User:Metalitia]]'s brother is under the impression that the [[Noodle Incident]] was a mishap either involving the brain Calvin made out of pasta for that one science project, or grossing Susie out at lunch by using manicotti to simulate his guts bursting through his chest. Somebody PLEASE help me prove him wrong. :(
** Didn't the police get involved? Or am I thinking of some other incident?
Line 403:
== We Have Entered an Endless Recursion of Time. ==
[https://web.archive.org/web/20150304100201/http://comicsidontunderstand.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/calvin2.gif And it ends, only to begin again...]
== Hobbes is actually a real person, the rest are just fantasy. ==
Line 418:
* That cracks me up. You just made my week.
* I actually have a t-shirt of them as John ''Calvin'' & Thomas ''Hobbes''. For real. They sell those things. I don't know where, it was a Christmas present.
** Right [https://web.archive.org/web/20130616010712/http://www.philosophersguild.com/Calvin-and-Hobbes-T-shirt.html here.] You're welcome.
== Hobbes is [[Cthulhu Mythos|Cthulhu]], or some other [[Eldritch Abomination|Great Old One]] ==
Line 449:
* Then, [http://www.joeydevilla.com/2008/01/09/calvin-and-hobbes-off-the-ritalin-and-high-on-life/ this] happens and the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] comes right back.
== They both happened. ==
And sometime between those events, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100603040227/http://neverland-syndrome.deviantart.com/art/Calvin-and-86694273 this happened.]

Line 456:
* Having to deal with both Calvin and [[Beavis and Butthead]] at the same time? Poor girl.
== Calvin is a young [http://spb.fotolog.com/photo/11/60/33/mts_death666/1238119655421_f.jpg Joel Grind]{{Dead link}}. ==
== Calvin has childhood-onset schizophrenia. ==
Line 601:
== ''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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20090414044914/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 à deux|folie à deux]], where they imagined their cat and dog were acting like human beings. Max realized he had to break away from this fantasy, but Jon, being the more infantile of the two, couldn't do the same. Max realized he had no choice but leave: that's why he disappeared so suddenly from ''Garfield'' and left Odie behind. His past history explains his comment about imaginary friends (he's referring to Garfield an Odie), as well as why he thinks Calvin having an imaginary friend might not be healthy for him.
== Either Calvin or Hobbes is a [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]], maybe both are. ==
Line 618:
== Calvin's time machine also allowed travel to parallel universes, accidentally or by design. ==
As you can see here:
== Calvin grows up to be Willy Wonka ==
