Watterson has commented a couple of times on Hobbes.
He said "When Hobbes is a stuffed toy in one panel and alive in the next, I'm juxtaposing the "grown-up" version of reality with Calvin's version, and inviting the reader to decide which is truer." ""Hobbes is more about the subjective nature of reality than dolls coming to life": thus there is no concrete definition of Hobbes' reality. Watterson explained: "Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and everyone else sees Hobbes another way." Hobbes' reality is in the eye of the beholder."

Funny thing to say for a man who believed that a demon has had the world stuck into a Matrix-like VR loop for the past 2000 years.

There is a Calvin and Hobbes article at Slate.com. Be sure to click the link of the slide show essay at the end.

To reopen this long-dead dehate.
All last week the subject of Frazz was a game called Bedlamball. It had no discernible rules? Sound familiar

Yea, looking at the color one on the comics.com, I see what you're saying. That uncolored one mel posted was too similar.
Is this guy just trying to gain notoriety by raising a debate about its similarities to Calvin & Hobbes? I mean, his characters look similar in style and now it looks like he's even directly referencing Calvinball. It seems like a cheap way to get public attention, if that is what he's doing. (Unless he is Watterson in disguise, of course, which I'll assume he isn't). |

It could just be a publicity stunt.
On the other hand I find Frazz very funny more often than not so there isn't really a need to go for cheap publicity. Maybe its just an inspired "what if" homage. Or maybe its just an astoundingly spooky coincedence due to the random nature of the universe.
