THE “STUPENDOUS” MAN

Fighting guerilla warfare’s from 5.5 meters bath tub or going on a space tour in class or having to eat slimy creatures at regular meals is not an easy deal but it seems so for a six year old.

I am talking about none other than CALVIN from the famous comic strip, CALVIN AND HOBBES. He has a fertile mind with no dearth of imagination. For e.g., ‘Calvinosaurus’ is what he likes to call himself when he goes back on time on his flying time machine which is no gadget but a simple 3*2 ft cardboard box which also sometimes changes into a ‘duplicator’ and a ‘transmogrifier’ as the situation demands. But Calvin is not alone. With him is his partner of crime, his figment of imagination, a stuffed tiger whom he calls Hobbes who is a rational and sarcastic side of Calvin himself.

Together they play a game called ‘Calvin ball’ where age plays no restrictions; anyone and everyone can play. There is no referee, no team and no rules .Equipments used in the game are volleyball (Calvin ball), soccer ball, badminton set, assorted flags, wooden horse and so on. Other things are included as and when needed such as a poem, a song, a bucket of ice cold water etc.

The pair has many witty and insightful moments that once you read them you are bound to get attuned to their frequency. Calvin and Hobbes is illustrated by Bill Waterston. Calvin is named after John Calvin, a French theologian while Hobbes was named after Thomas Hobbes, an English political philosopher. The illustrations go beyond the comic realm as it discusses issues on environment, flawed opinion polls and comments on the American culture.

The strip also has another character called Susie Derkins, whom I like the most .She was born on December 5^th, 1985. She is diligent, well mannered and possesses a much more tamed imagination. While Calvin has Hobbes, Susie has Mr. Bun, her stuffed rabbit. Their symbiotic secret crushes on each other add another attraction to the strip.

I love these characters and cannot do without a dose of it in the morning. This piece is just to whet your appetite so that you too can get on the plane with ‘Calvinosaurous’ and give a boost to your jaded imagination. So share a smile, maybe a laugh and let Calvin and Hobbes soar and try spotting them in your life. Live light and be ready to fly- be it in a 3*2 feet cardboard box! Hail Calvin!!!
