Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. True or False: Calvin is based upon Bill Watterson's son?

Answer: False

"Most people assume that Calvin is based on a son of mine, or based on detailed memories of my own childhood. In fact, I don't have children, and I was a fairly quiet, obedient kid - almost Calvin's opposite...I use Calvin as an outlet for my immaturity." - Bill Watterson
2. Who is Calvin named for?

Answer: a sixteenth-century theologian

John Calvin was born in 1509 and died in 1564. He is mostly known for his belief in predestination.
3. Who is Hobbes named for?

Answer: a seventeenth-century philosopher

Thomas Hobbes lived from 1588 through 1679. Bill Watterson named this character after Thomas Hobbes because Hobbes had a very dim view of human nature.
4. Bill Watterson used a cat for inspiration when it came to drawing Hobbes. What was his cat's name?

Answer: Sprite

Sprite was a gray tabby. She was not only the model for his drawing, she also modeled Hobbes' personality.
5. What are the names of Calvin's parents?

Answer: Never told

"I've never given Calvin's parents names, because as far as the strip is concerned, they are important only as Calvin's mom and dad." - Bill Watterson
6. Out of Calvin's mom or dad, which one is the daily disciplinarian?

Answer: mom

I, for one, am very impressed with her. I believe I'd go insane if my child was like Calvin. Early on, Calvin's parents were criticized for being too sarcastic and unloving. I don't believe those critics are parents.
7. What is the full name of the girl that Calvin terrorizes?

Answer: Susie Derkins

"Derkins" was actually the nickname of Bill Watterson's wife's beagle.
8. Miss Wormwood got her name from what novel?

Answer: "The Screwtape Letters"

"I think she seriously believes in the value of education, so needless to say, she's an unhappy person." - Bill Watterson
9. What is the name of the bully who terrorizes Calvin?

Answer: Moe

"I remember school being full of idiots like Moe. I think they spawn on damp locker room floors." - Bill Watterson
10. True or False: When Bill Watterson included Rosalyn, he intended to write an elaborate story line about her?

Answer: False

Rosalyn is Calvin's babysitter. Bill Watterson didn't even think of her as a regular character, but he liked the way Calvin responded to her.
