@RickiTarr Snoopy was a fighter pilot, an attorney and a philosopher. He was always Snoopy. Hobbes turned back into a stuffed toy tiger when adults were present. So I think you may have that reversed.
@mydogwrotethis@RickiTarr I believe that Bill Watterson said that he’s real to Calvin and a stuffed tiger to the adults and both those things are true and that’s that. Hobbes doesn’t “turn back;” he just is.
@RickiTarr It was always my theory that Charlie Brown was imagining Snoopy doing the things he didn't have the self confidence to imagine himself doing.
@RickiTarr Oh, Hobbes is real, but they chose to be friends with a boy who (A) respects Hobbes' furry identity, and (B) owns a plushie of the same species as their furry identity. These put together, and Hobbes is able to quite thoroughly help Calvin learn about the realities of the ills and the potential of the world, while his parents just think the boy is merely imaginitive AF.
