Calvin and Hobbes - Calvin.
Named after 16th-century theologian John Calvin (founder of Calvinism and a strong believer in predestination), Calvin is an impulsive, imaginative, energetic, curious, intelligent, self-centered, and often selfish six-year-old. Despite his low grades, Calvin has a wide vocabulary range that rivals that of an adult as well as an emerging philosophical mind. Watterson has described Calvin thus:
"Calvin is pretty easy to do because he is outgoing and rambunctious and there's ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Heavy metal umlaut - Umlauts and diaereses The German word Umlaut roughly means changed sound, as it is composed of um- (a prefix often used with verbs involving "change") and Laut, here meaning "sound". Adding an umlaut indeed changes the pronunciation of a vowel in standard (non-heavy metal) usage; the letters u and ü represent distinct sounds, as do o vs. ö and a vs. ä. Umlauts, or visually similar graphemes, are used in several languages, such as Icelandic, German, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Fast-food restaurant - Overview Within the United States, fast-food restaurants have been losing market share to so-called fast casual restaurants, which offer somewhat better and more expensive foods. In 2002, the McDonald's Corporation posted its first quarterly loss. With this cultural shift toward healthier, better quality foods, McDonald's and Burger King most notably have begun to move toward selling healthier alternatives such as salads and deli-style sandwiches. This is in a dual effort to match the demand of a changing society and to r ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - Recurring subject matter There are several repeating themes in the work, a few involving Calvin's real life, and many stemming from his incredible imagination. Some of the latter are clearly flights of fancy, while others, like Hobbes, are of an apparently dual nature and don't quite work when presumed real or unreal.
Calvin and Hobbes - Calvin's alter-egos.
Calvin's hyperactive imagination leads him to imagine himself as other characters with different powers and goals, sometimes vanishing into a fantasy to escape a diffic ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Domestication Like some other domesticated animals, cats live in a mutualistic arrangement with humans. Cats, however, have done so for a much shorter time than almost all other domesticated animals, and the degree of domestication of cats is somewhat disputed. Since the benefit of removing rats and mice from humans' food stores outweighed the cost of allowing a formerly wild animal to enjoy the relative safety of a human settlement, the relationship between cat and human flourished. Unlike the dog, which also kills rodents, the cat did not eat grains, fruits, or vegetables. A cat that is good at huntin ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Scientific classification The domestic cat was named Felis catus by Carolus Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae of 1758. Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber named the wild cat Felis silvestris in 1775. The domestic cat is now considered a subspecies of the wild cat: by the strict rule of priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature the name for the species thus ought to be F. catus since Linnaeus published first. However, in practice almost all biologists use F. silvestris for the wild species, usin ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Varieties of domestic cat The list of cat breeds is quite large. Each breed has distinct features and heritage. The owners and breeders of show cats compete to see whose animal bears the closest resemblance to the "ideal" definition of the breed (see selective breeding). Due to common crossbreeding in populated areas, many cats are simply identified as belonging to the homogeneous breeds of domestic longhair and domestic shorthair, depending on their type of fur. In the United Kingdom and Australia, non-purebred cats are referred in slang as moggies (also an archaic ...

Calvin and Hobbes - Recurring characters.
Calvin's mother and father are for the most part typical Middle American middle-class parents; like many other characters in the strip, their relatively down-to-earth and sensible attitudes serve primarily as a foil for Calvin's outlandish behavior. Both parents go through the entire strip unnamed, except as "Mom" and "Dad", or such pet names as "hon" and "dear." Watterson has never given Calvin's parents names "because as far as the strip is c ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - History Calvin and Hobbes was first conceived when Watterson, having worked in an advertising job he detested, began devoting his spare time to cartooning, his true love. He explored various strip ideas but all were rejected by the syndicates to which he sent them. However, he did receive a positive response on one strip, which featured a side character (the main character's little brother) who had a stuffed tiger. Told that these characters were the strongest, Watterson began a new strip centered around them. The syndicate (United Features S ...

| | | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - Style and Influences Calvin and Hobbes strips are characterized by sparse but careful draftsmanship, intelligent humor, poignant observations, witty social and political commentary, and well-developed characters that are full of personality. Precedents to Calvin's fantasy world can be found in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, Percy Crosby's Skippy, Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County, and George Herriman's Krazy Kat, while Watterson's use of comics as sociopolitical commentary reaches back to Walt Kelly's Pogo. Schulz and Kelly in particular influenced Watterson's out ...

Breathed and his wife, wildlife photographer and psychotherapist, Jody Boyman, and their daughter Sophie live in Southern California. He is reportedly a very private person, and although he has given interviews to on-line magazines such as The Onion and Salon, he has rarely given face-to-face or telephone interviews and resists talking about himself. He and his wife support animal rights and his book Flawed Dogs: The Year End Leftovers at the Piddleton 'Las ...
