Watterson, like Calvin, also fought against rules numerous times. By the time its final strip was published on December 31, 1995, Watterson’s work had been published in as many as 2,400 newspapers worldwide.
A year into its syndication, “Calvin and Hobbes” was being featured in 250 newspapers. The trap was not a fluke: readers were ensnared into the daily adventures of the duo for just more than a decade. The syndicated comic strip first introduced readers to mischievous six-year-old Calvin, excitedly explaining to his dad about his tiger trap, and Calvin’s tiger companion Hobbes, happily munching away on the trap’s tuna fish sandwich bait.
18, 1985, Bill Watterson’s “Calvin and Hobbes” made its debut in newspapers across the country. Who can blame Hobbes for falling into Calvin’s tiger trap 30 years ago - we all were captured too. 30 years ago today (November 18, 1985) we first met a boy and his pet tiger.
