description: As a child Calvin felt an affinity with the comic book character from Bill Wattersons Calvin &amp; Hobbes.He was born on the day the last strip was published; his grandpa left a stuffed tiger named Hobbes in his crib; and he even had a best friend named Susie. Then Calvins mom washed Hobbes to death Susie grew up beautiful and stopped talking to him and Calvin pretty much forgot about the stripuntil now. Now he is seventeen years old and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Hobbes is back as a delusion and Calvin cant control him. Calvin decides that Watterson is the key to everythingif he would just make one more comic strip but without Hobbes Calvin would be cured. Calvin and Susie (is she real?) and Hobbes (he cant be real can he?) set out on a dangerous trek across frozen Lake Erie to track down Watterson.
