a google search comics kid tiger leads you to "Calvin and Hobbes" at once

(giphy)

"Calvin and Hobbes" (1985-1995) by Bill Watterson has been one of the most successful comics ever (worldwide) and, imho, one of the very best ones, for so many reasons!

for instance, the tiger is "alive" when they are just the two of them but, when there is another character, the tiger is a stuffed animal:



because he did not want to destroy this ambivalence (alive/stuffed), the author never allowed merchandising!

the character names come from theologian John Calvin and philosopher Thomas Hobbes

#1 Jean Calvin "grave" (not the real one), Cimetière des Rois (cemetery of the kings ...we never had kings in Geneva!), Geneva, Switzerland, 46.201528° 6.136098°

#2 Thomas Hobbes grave, St John the Baptist's Church, Ault Hucknall, Derbyshire, England, UK, 53.182166° -1.302057°
