What is Calvin's monstor snowman called?
The Torment Of Existance Weighed Against The Horror Of Nonbeing.
Calvin!
Letter
C belongs to my most favorite comic character Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!
Calvin, named after theologian John
Calvin, is the main protagonist of Calvin and Hobbes. He is a perpetually
six-year-old boy with a vivid imagination and a habit of getting into
trouble. The comic centers around Calvin's life, his troubles, and his
adventures, with Hobbes alongside all the while.
Calvin is characterized by his imagination,
philosophy, extensive vocabulary, social awkwardness, and mischievous
behavior. His first piece of dialogue was the first line of the strip and
his last line of dialogue was also the strip's final line.

We all know
Calvin hates baths! He has tried several tactics to avoid bathing, up to
decoys, and when finally in the tub, he complains about his ordeal. And
television is Calvin’s favorite past time.
Calvin is generally misanthropic, and only feels significant sympathy
for non-human animals. He has a significant admiration for tigers, instituted
as a result of his friendship with Hobbes. Once, he even (unsuccessfully) tried
to adopt the lifestyle of tigers
. Calvin is a little too intelligent for his age, coming up
with very deep and profound philosophies which he himself fails to understand.
Calvin is always getting into trouble with his parents. He
is a difficult kid and his parents have a tough time handling him.
Calvin’s best friend HOBBES!
Hobbes, named for philosopher
Thomas Hobbes, is the deuteragonist of the
comics. He is
Calvin's stuffed tiger and best friend, who, from Calvin's
perspective, is a live tiger and real as anyone else.
And there is
Susie!
Susie Derkins, Calvin’s classmate is another important
character in the comic strip. Calvin is always up to something to trouble Susie
and the two are seen locking their antlers many a times. Hobbes often openly
expresses romantic feelings for Susie, much to Calvin's disgust. Calvin starts
a "club" (of which he and Hobbes are the only members) that he calls
G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS), and
while holding "meetings" in Calvin's tree house or in the "box
of secrecy" in Calvin's room, they usually come up with some way to annoy
or socially maim Susie, most of which backfire on them completely.
Calvin isn’t
very fond of school and is seen often complaining about how he is too evolved
to go to school. At school, he has built up, in
his principal's words,
quite a file owing
to his bad behavior.
Maybe Calvin
ended in 1995, but he continues to make us smile or laugh with his continued appearance
over the daily newspaper, comics, or over the net.
Calvin, I
love you!Thank you for your awesomeness!
Do you like
him too? Let me know why!
