Why Are There So Few Characters in Calvin and Hobbes?

As should be expected, Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip that revolves around its titular protagonists. Every crisis in their town revolves around Calvin and Hobbes, as the pair creates numerous problems everywhere they go. It is partly caused by the fact that there aren’t many others to take the reins of the story. Despite running regularly from November 1985 to December 1995, few characters actually appear in the strip itself.Aside from Calvin and his tiger friend, the entire town is somewhat barren. Few characters are given names and even fewer have regular roles. Aside from those who directly interact with Calvin on a day-to-day basis, it feels like there is absolutely no one else in the world. For such an iconic strip, the realization that there are not many people in the universe is undoubtedly a jarring one.The rest of the town is not very different. Calvin’s friend, teacher, principal, babysitter, and bully fill out the rest of the cast. For such a long-running strip, it is a fairly bare-bones collection of people. One-off characters occasionally play a role — especially in Calvin’s daydreams of Stupendous Man and Spaceman Spiff — but otherwise are relegated to background appearances in the classroom.
