1. I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Calvin and Hobbes was a syndicated comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic stuffed tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher. The strip was syndicated daily from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995. At its height, Calvin and Hobbes was featured in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide. As of the publication of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, more than 30 million copies of the 17 Calvin and Hobbes books had been sold.
Set in the contemporary Eastern United States in an unspecified suburb, the broad themes of the strip deal with Calvin’s flights of fantasy and his friendship with Hobbes, his misadventures, his unique views on a diverse range of political and cultural issues and his relationships with the people in his life, especially his parents. The dual nature of Hobbes is also a recurring motif: Calvin sees Hobbes as a live anthropomorphic tiger, while other characters see him as a stuffed animal. Though the series does not mention specific political figures or current events, it does mention broad issues like environmentalism, public education, and the flaws of opinion polls.
