So theres a lot of controversy surrounding Hobbes and whether or not he's a real character or just Calvins imagination so I was asked to make a CRT.
Theres this quote: The cartoonist said in an interview that the assumption that Hobbes isn't real is because no other adults in the strip see the tiger the way that Calvin does. "It would seem to me, though, that when you make up a friend for yourself, you would have somebody to agree with you, not to argue with you," Watterson said. "So Hobbes is more real than I suspect any kid would dream up."
There are also multiple points where Hobbes and Calvin are fighting and Calvin gets injured. Couldn't find a picture from the comic but there are times where after the two fight characters like his mom comment on his injuries, so this confirms his injuries are real.
Theres also no way to play baseball by yourself. Now you could say that he's just throwing the ball up into the sky and then hitting it himself but its shown that he has a lot of trouble doing that (Here)
Got hit by a snowball thrown by Hobbes
Also why would Calvin imagine someone who argues and annoys him literally every chance he gets.
