Last month my coworker sent me this pattern for crocheting a stuffed animal Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes for his son. I actually have never read any of the Calvin and Hobbes comics, but I knew of it.  When I saw the pattern, I was a little confused because I didn't recall seeing Hobbes as a stuffed animal until my boyfriend explained to me that Hobbes IS a stuffed animal, just that Calvin's imagination shows us Hobbes as a "real" tiger.
