Ya know, Calvin really has more in common with Crowder than you might think.

They obviously both childish. They're fundamentally selfish beings. They have incredibly vivid imaginations, but they only ever use them to amuse themselves and reinforce their delusion that they're the most important person. They believe themselves to be rebels against a banal and suffocating system, but in reality they're just irritating little shits, constantly acting upon every rogue impulse of their raging ego and id, with no regard for how they're making life hard for the people who have to live near them.

didn't like crowder show is dick to all the bros at his work tho?

Imo, Calvin at least is an imaginative, creative individual with an imaginary tiger that frequently gives him shit for his flaws. Kids also notably grow through self absorbed phases while Crowder acts a similar way as an adult.

Calvin is also only six years old, so he has an excuse.

Basically, if he ever stops seeing Hobbes as a talking tiger, that'll be the day he just turns into someone like Crowder. Hobbes is kind of a dick, too, but he's Calvin's conscience. He's Calvin's connection to empathy and vulnerability. When he wakes up one day, and just sees a lifeless stuffed toy, he'll be a true monster.
