Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following has Calvin dressed up as for Halloween?

Answer: A barrel of toxic waste

He did dress up as all of these, but the only one he dressed up as for Halloween was a barrel of toxic waste.

2. What kind of balls are illegal when Calvin and Hobbes play baseball?

Answer: Booger balls

This is on one of the first few pages of "Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons". Two person baseball must be rough, especially with 25 bases to run. Geesh!

3. What can no one prove that Calvin did?

Answer: The noodle incident

The actual incident was never explained because Bill Watterson wanted to leave it up to the reader's imagination.

4. What is Calvin's favorite cereal?

Answer: Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs

Pulp 'n' Stuff was the cereal that Calvin was going to try when he was bored with routine so he decided to try something new. Fortunately Hobbes informed him that Pulp 'n' Stuff doesn't have any chocolate frosting. It has fiber and rasins, so Calvin ditched that for his good old Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

5. On class picture day, what did Calvin put in his hair that made him look like "Astro Boy"?

Answer: Crisco

Calvin's mom didn't really like that he put Crisco in his hair. I can't imagine why! So she made him comb it out, but luckily, Hobbes was there to save the day and fix Calvin's hair at the bus stop!

6. When Calvin wrote his own bedtime story for his dad to read, what did he name the kid in the story?

Answer: Barney

If you look at the last panel in the strip, it's signed "Watterson & Hobs". He can't leave Hobbes out. I mean, he did help draw it after all.

7. Which color, besides white, are Calvin's shoes?

Answer: Purple

I have received a couple of correction messages about this question, both of which have stated that Hobbes says Calvin's shoes are, in fact, red. In "Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat", Hobbes asks Calvin, "Why does the world's most powerful computer wear little red sneakers?"

Calvin's shoes are not the same color as his shirt. In the color strips, his shoes are clearly purple in comparison to the color of his shirt.

Since Hobbes did mention that the shoes were red (even though they are not), I have switched the response of Red with the new response, Black.

8. According to Bill Watterson, Hobbes comes to life when only Calvin is around.

Answer: False

As Bill Watterson says in "The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book", "I don't think of Hobbes as a doll that miraculously comes to life when Calvin's around. Neither do I think of Hobbes as the product of Calvin's imagination. The nature of Hobbes's reality doesn't interest me, and each story goes out of its way to avoid resolving the issue."

9. Everybody knows what Calvin's teacher's name is, but can you name his gym teacher?

Answer: The gym teacher's name is never mentioned

Miss Wormwood is Calvin's teacher and Mr. Spittle is his principal. In "Something Under the Bed is Drooling", you see a generic teacher wearing a shirt that says, "Gym Instructor". In "Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'", Mr. Lockjaw is the baseball coach, but there really is no evidence to suggest that he is also the gym teacher.

10. Which of these is one of Rosalyn's jobs?

Answer: Swimming instructor

In addition to being Calvin's babysitter, in the first book, we learn that she also teaches swimming lessons to Calvin.
