Created by Bill Watterson and running from 1985 to 1995, Calvin and Hobbes follows the adventures of a precocious six-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger, who appears real to him. In the meme world, panels from the comic—especially the iconic dancing sequence or scenes of Calvin’s wild imagination—are used to express unbridled joy, existential dread, or childhood mischief. While Watterson famously refused to license the characters for merchandise, fans have kept the legacy alive through these digital templates, using the duo's unique dynamic to comment on modern life, parenting, and philosophical absurdity.
