I don't follow the actual Marvin so may be missing something crucial. But the joke/antijoke here seems to be just how dangerous life is for unparented child.

It's what it would look like if you spied on Calvin, just a particularly imaginative kid .( I always imagined a maudlin ending to the strip, with a teen-age Calvin, who has found real companions and other interests, being alone with Hobbes, who now remains a silent stuffed toy tiger. "A [tiger] lives forever, but not so little boys..." ) Todd#30- Robert Goulet? mkilby#29, thanks for that link.

Is that guy in Boffo supposed to a particular person? He looks like a lounge singer whose name I don't currently recall. Another thing I forgot. Is that guy in Boffo supposed to a particular person?

It nicely illustrates that (as opposed to Garfield), the C&H strips are simply lifeless without Hobbes. @ furrykef & CIDU Bill (14 & 15) - On the subject of “Garfield minus Garfield”, I just happened to run into a slightly macabre (and since abandoned) experiment: “Calvin minus Hobbes” (see: http://www.jeffsocean.com/post/668583668/calvin-minus-hobbes).

Particularly since the same can be said of the Amazon Kindle, the B&N Nook, and all the other e-readers out there. And the Nook (I don't know about the rest) can have additional memory added; you want more memory in your iPad, you have to buy another iPad. I don’t see why the Bizarro is funny.
