Calvin and Hobbes endures as literature and art combined because it is both: it asks important questions without simplistically resolving them, revels in its own absurdities, and is filled with a deep understanding of people, of our swirling contradictions and complexities and conundrums.
Discuss.
This would be a great animated movie but how can it ever live up to what I imagine it should be like in my my own mind. Would Hobbes have an accent or not?
Finally, the thoughtful choice.

No animated movie. Please. The original comic strip is a work of sublime genius and no adaptation could capture its charms. ( Besides the fact that Watterson would never authorise it... )
You are right of course. But WOULD Hobbes have an accent.
Apparently, the strip was meant to be set in Ohio, so I guess Hobbes would have a suitable regional accent. Unless he was French or something...
NO! NO ACCENT!
What about Russian??
NYET! NO ACCENT!
AH...a Bollywood ACCENT because his from India like most tigers.
Who in the Hollywood would do Hobbe's voice.
James Spader!
