[edit] LEOnardo
Listen I am not trying to dominate this page,or anything,it is just the fact that someone has removed my personal logo I HAVE USED FOR YEARS!Additionally I only tag things I have personally done as a do have a sense of decency.User:LEOnardo
- Wikipedia does not require, encourage or indeed even allow users to sign their contributions within the text of an article. It is considered vandalism. Ramanpotential (talk | contribs) 13:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
On a brighter note I would like to ask if anyone would be willing to create a chatroom where calvinics like me can discuss things with other people. User:LEOnardo
- Wikipedia doesn't really get into that. Try Yahoo groups. Feezo (Talk) 03:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re-moving page
I hate to move a page back to an old title (what with the fear of revert wars and all), but I really think "secondary characters" describes this article better than "minor characters" does. Captain Napalm is minor, but Stupendous Man is a different matter. Anville 07:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stupendous Man 'canon'
Why should the Batman-style Stupendous Man strip not be considered Stupendous Man 'canon'? (If there is such a thing.) Unless this is corroborated elsewhere, I'm taking it out. Surely Calvin's imagination is more important than the actual cape he is wearing? Feezo (Talk) 22:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
The merging of more characters into this page is being discussed at Talk:Calvin and Hobbes --OscarTheCattalk

[edit] Merge Done
All of the secondary characters have been merged here, and CAlvin's alter egos have been taken to the Calvin article. This article needs a lot of cleanup, and a lot of wikilinks fixed. Please give me a hand. Happy editing! - Mike (talk)

[edit] Classmates
Ronald, Claire, Clarance and Candace.
Is this correct? Last name was added via an anon user, and I can't remember such a name. --Oscarthecat 11:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I remeber hearing about Candace. She was only mentioned in one strip though. I can't remeber any of the others. - Mike (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- As I recall, Ronald was the victim of Calvin's "invisible cretinizer" prank, and Candace was addressed by Susie during a rare appearance of Stupendous Man in school. I don't remember Claire or Clarance. Feezo (Talk) 01:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Update — confirmed the appearance of Claire on 10-24-93. Feezo (Talk) 03:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moe
Is Moe named after Moe Howard of the Three Stooges by any chance? I'm guessing he's not, but in my opinion, he somewhat resembles the Stooge. {unsigned|66.214.200.130}}
- I doubt it. Watterson probably just need a short, one-syllable name for the character he describes as "every jerk I've ever known." Feezo (Talk) 01:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Father's name
In wierdos from another planet, I saw Calvin's mother calling his father "Conan the Barbarian". Should we put Conan as his name?--Cannsam11 02:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- You might want to check out Conan the Barbarian for where this reference is coming from. It isn't his actual name. Gnosis1185 04:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, never mind then. So do we delete this part of the discussion or what?--Cannsam11 02:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dad Stuff
Is it worth mentioning that when they go to a wedding, the mum is in tears of emotion, but the dad is as bored as Calvin? He appears in two boxes at the ceremony. In one he's yawning, in the other he's checking his watch. I think his mental dialogue would be along the sam lines as Calvin's ("I don't even know these people!") This supports the father - son smiliarities thing. Fuzzibloke 09:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- If you can include it so that it just doesn't seem "thrown in there", maybe in a trivia section or something. Maybe if you could upload a few panels from that strip, it would add even more to it. - Mike 14:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Susie's mom
As I recall, Susie's mom only appears once in the strip, from the knees down, when Calvin stands on the Derkins' doorstep with a water balloon, hoping Susie will answer the door when he knocks. When her mom appears, he's forced to make up a story about "selling water balloons... would you like to buy one?" As for the mentioned appearance, I believe that character is merely the flower shop employee, and not Susie's mom. Eric3K 21:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I rember this as well, but i belive that he was going to hit Susie with a snowball not a water ballon, but I think it was Susie's Mother who answered the door. The only time Calvin ever saw a flower shop employee was when he was going to buy Susie a bouquet of dead flowers for Valentines day, "Do you have a dumpster out back I could root through?" or something like that.

[edit] Calvin Imagining Moes Death
I seem to recall a daily strip were Calvin imagins Moe being swalled into the ground and erupting into a fireball of greese or something of that sort after being pushed down by him. Should it be mentioned that Calvin sometimes imagines things like that happing to Moe? Or am I mistaken (no offence will be taken)? ---Azizza 01:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
