The Return of Hobbes

givemesomethingtoread:

In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton’s character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give “Jack” more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. “Jack” is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It’s true. Norton portrays the grown-up version of Calvin, while Brad Pitt plays his imaginary pal, Hobbes, reincarnated as Tyler Durden.

This is my inevitable, yearly trigger for re-reading my entire Calvin & Hobbes collection. (You thought I was going to say ‘Jack’s’, huh?)

    Awesome. Makes me like Fight Club a little more to think it’s Calvin and Hobbes.
