I remember most everything that happened in my life, even some events while still in my crib! Some specifically. I don’t need an “expert” to tell me differently, Thank you!
I’m thinking Hobbes is a secret time traveler if her remembers Calvin as an infant. Either that, or he remained hidden for the first years of Calvin’s life until Calvin was smart enough to catch him in a trap with a tuna sandwich.
What I think is my earliest memory is staying with Grandma and Granddaddy while Mom was in hospital birthing my little brother. I would have been two months shy of 3 at the time and I’m told that I wanted to name my new brother Yogibear.
I was 3-ish when playing outside I saw it raining hard across the street, but NOT on my side! Why of all I did or saw at that age this stuck on my memories… ?
I recall being babysat when I was 4. the family name was Ackers. they had a boring old puke pink Studebaker. the next year I was 5 and went to Harwood Public School.
It was dark and warm…then, all of a sudden…buncha people standing around, enough lights to blind a guy and then, get this, some goof shakes me upside down and gives me a whack. I cried, what else could I do? The rest is history.
Fetal amnesia is know thought to be related to the paring of neurons and synapses that actually occurs during very early development. Strange that we all start with more neural pathways and then strengthen some while eliminating many during infancy.

The first strip established that Calvin met Hobbes when he was older, as opposed to this one implying Hobbes knew Calvin as a baby.

So Hobbes is real and knew Calvin well before he (Hobbes) was ‘caught’ in a trap baited with tuna sandwich. Well well.

Time travel, Calvin. Rediscover the diaper years.

Hobbes knew Calvin as an infant? Never knew that; I thought Calvin was already 6 when he trapped Hobbes.

So Hobbes was hanging around the house for years before being caught. Yeah, that works for me……

Have to doubt burping was Cal’s only output as a cradle rocker.

Have any 6 year olds been questioned about what they remember of their infant years? I doubt any even asks.

I have a very dim memory of finding an O’Henry bar between the screen door and the front door. Not sure how old I was, though. Possibly around 2.

Language is the anchor of memory. An occasional retelling cements a story into memory.
