I like to think he was

Great question, I like to think he was, but only Calvin could see him. In quite a few pictures where someone else is there with him, Hobbes has shrunk in size, and lies motionless on the ground though. But still, maybe he's just playing around ;)

Calvin and Hobbes were based on two theologians/philosophers named John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes. So technically Hobbes was real. But that's probably not what you meant in your question.

Hobbes was a real stuffed tiger toy. Calvin on the other hand saw him as a real live tiger to talk and play with.

He was a "real" stuffed animal that Hobbes saw alive.
I wish I had a Hobbes, he was cool!

You answered your own Q! I like to think he was, too, but he was only real to Calvin. I love that cartoon! Wish it was still being written/drawn and not "re runs".

I do too. I never really doubted that he wasn't. He was so funny, thoughtful, and charming that he seemed in no way connected to Calvin other than by way of friendship.

In Calvin's mind he was.
