That’s super kind and probably made the kids day. ❤️
Just a fun fact: There is no merchandise for Calvin and Hobbes. At least no official and legal merch. Bill Watterson never wanted to take away from the impact of the comic strip so he never authorised any merchandise except for a few compilations and calendars. Everything else is bootleg.
I have so much respect for Watterson for doing that. He could have made millions from licensing deals, but chose not to, purely for artistic reasons.
The Hobbes in this story was custom made by the boy’s aunt, which I hope Watterson would be fine with :)
