    The second rule of Tiger Club is DON'T TALK about Tiger Club...

    I can't wait until tomorrow to see if Hobbes reveals Calvin's secret. It's like watching General Hospital!! :D
    The third rule of Tiger Club is if someone says "stop", goes limp or taps out, the Tiger gets to eat them.

    A hint towards Calvin's origin story? I heard it involved a blue-light special...

    I don't know about that. I'm pretty sure Mom and Dad often think about asking for a refund . . . LOL

    Our family joke is that we're half-Irish, half-Scottish and half-crazy ergo larger than life!

    Happy St Patrick's Day to you as well, @positivepowers!!

    It looks like Calvin really gets the territorial thing... and Hobbes seems to enjoy testing boundaries... lol

    I thought tigers were the danger as opposed to being endangered...

    Well no wonder tigers are endangered if they have to stay on opposite sides of rocks . . .

    Boy, this thread brought back memories. We used to fight over the newspaper (after dad read it, of course) just to read Calvin and Hobbes. I still have all the books, too. I think I'll start again with Revenge of the Babysat :D Thanks for this!

    If you run through the thread, you'll find many familiar favourites as well as a number of GIFs animated by enthusiastic fans. Enjoy!!

    Very tricky, Calvin... Methinks the law of unintended consequences might come back to haunt you...

    Yeah, but at least it's Spaceman Spiff! Some of Calvin's best imaginary adventures occur to Spaceman Spiff!

    ETA: Such as: "Spaceman Spiff is hit! He aims for planet Mok, hoping to find a reputable body shop." I'm not even traveling the unknown universe and I'm trying to find a reputable body shop! :D

    Watterson tried a couple of different variants of a space-travelling adventurer outside of Calvin & Hobbes before he settled on Spaceman Spiff. I wonder what Spaceman Mort looked like?
