Calvin and Hobbes/Awesome


  • Many for Hobbes. Basically any time he provides clever commentary or attacks Calvin returning from school.
  • Calvin's babysitter Rosalyn got one in her final appearance. After previously having to resort to threats and brute force every time she babysat Calvin, she finally beat at him at his own game, literally. The moment she realized that the purpose of Calvinball is to make up new rules all the time, she immediately got into the game and eventually used it to make Calvin go to bed without any more fuss.

Calvin: Man, she picked up the nuances of this game fast!
Rosalyn: Ha! This is fun!
