Calvin and Hobbes remains one of the best comic strips out there. Telling the stories of a six-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger, the strip combines comedy, philosophy, and summer vacations into a perfect depiction of small-town childhood. At its core, everything is about the fun and adventures of Calvin’s story, while also considering what life is really like for six-year-olds and their families. Despite Calvin regularly causing chaos, the strip never strays from that premise and has become a timeless work of art because of it.Yet, despite how great the strip is, Calvin and Hobbes has never once received an adaptation. The strip has always been contained in the pages of newspapers and collections. There is a chance that the strip never gets any adaptation at all. If it does, however, it needs to be in the form that worked so well for Peanuts, Garfield, and The Addams Family. A cartoon would be the perfect way to bring Calvin and his best tiger friend to life.This is a franchise that has survived for decades without new content, but the absence of new strips means that it has largely stuck with the same fan base. If Calvin and Hobbes stays dormant for much longer, it will never truly be able to build its fanbase. Existing readers will continue to reflect positively on the strip, but it isn’t likely to do much more than retain those pre-existing readers. Eventually, it will inevitably cause the slow and subtle decline of readership, leaving Calvin and Hobbes to the fate of countless other forgotten comic strips.
