> Calvin seems to be a little narcisistic boy. He seems very self-satisfied, feels others need to do things for him, serve him like a king needs to be served (red carpet syndrome), others are mainly wrong or stupid compared to his genius. He's funny because of the contrast between his lack of any real remarkable performance (success) and his narcissistic fantasies in which he is the genial writer, the grand hero. Calvin says he likes people...as (admiring) public.

Hello Jan:
But what about Hobbs? Hobbs seems to be a Contrary-Leisurely, with strong Aggressive Style. He fits Riso's 9W8 with strong 8 wing. He likes to do fun things with Calvin, but won't be pushed around! The inside joke of the strip is that, its Hobbs who is the voice of common sense & caution. Not Calvin, a dreamer, since dreams are all that he has to show to the world.... Rich
