Well I dunno if this topic has been posted here before, but it suddenly struck me the other day as I was reading some 'Calvin and Hobbes' cartoons, that this was the only other cat I knew called Hobbes (the other one being our 'trusty' wingman from WC - ahem).
Does anyone know if this is where he got his callsign/nickname? I'm not talking about in the WC story of course (Maniac: "Hey Maverick, remember that comic strip we saw in the museum, with the tiger named 'Hobbes'? Well why don't we name this big hairy Kilrathi pilot after him?" ... Blair : "Yeh, sounds good"), but rather when the game was being made (A time when Calvin and Hobbes was at the height of its popularity).
Anyway I was just curious, since Hobbes is a pretty unusual name, and they are both cats (I think the cartoon one was named after some philosopher or something).
Anyone know ??
