I don't get it

https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/11/03 ^ This is the actual lower panel.

Basically Hobbes is Calvin's tiger, but it's just a stuffed toy. This comic has replaced stuffed toy with the tiger in the comic, and shown us how Calvin would look to "normal" people.

Yeah, that's pretty depressing.

For anyone who doesn’t “get it”. I’m not promising this series will make sense or even be funny. Garfield without Garfield is amusing (sometimes), so I wondered about Calvin and Hobbes, but how it might be in reality. Hobbes will only ever appear as a stuffed animal and will not be mentioned by name.

Im working through “Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat” and will be including the page number in the title (at least until I get bored of this).
