Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


In this version, Calvin's personality is more in line with the rest of the series (that is, ''[[UpToEleven extremely]]'' BrilliantButLazy), and Hobbes is caught with a cage made out of sticks. After the introductions, Calvin ends up splashing his father with a water balloon after being convinced that aliens have possessed him. And thus, one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born... again!

The introductory episode of ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is an adaption of the first two strips of the comic. Upon failing to get his mother to give him tuna (as bait for his tiger trap), Calvin manages to get some via bribing a kid to distract her. After catching Hobbes (first attempting to shoot him down, which doesn't work) and [[LiteralMinded "stuffing"]] him, Calvin introduces the wonders of imagination to him. And thus one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born!

* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: A two-person variant.



* WeNeedADistraction: Calvin bribes another kid with 2 dollars to distract his mother while he makes a tuna fish sandwich to capture a tiger with.

It was also [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3742813/37/Calvin_and_Hobbes_The_Series_SEASON_THREE rewritten]] in Season 3's bonus chapter, as it was going to be part of a series of plays based on fanfiction, and the original was something of an OldShame.

In this version, Calvin's personality is more in line with the rest of the series (that is, ''[[UpToEleven extremely]]'' BrilliantButLazy), and Hobbes is caught with a cage made out of sticks. After the introductions, Calvin ends up splashing his father with a water balloon after being convinced that aliens have possessed him. And thus, one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born... again!

!!Tropes:
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Calvin has no idea what to do after catching Hobbes.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: InUniverse, Hobbes' new backstory is as ambiguous as can be - Calvin's mom put him in the trap, but she found him laying on their property, looking brand new.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They're actually just adults going to work, but Calvin refers to them as zombies.
** HatingOnMonday: He also notes that they tend to come on Monday mornings.
* ParanoiaFuel: InUniverse - Hobbes convinces Calvin that aliens have taken over the government and are spying on the populace. Calvin ends up attacking his dad with water balloons because of this.
* WaterGunsAndBalloons: Calvin uses water balloons as his sole offense against his father, apparently taken over by aliens.
* YouCanTalk: Calvin says this to Hobbes, who responds with [[DeadpanSnarker "Last time I checked, yes."]]
----
!!Tropes shared by both versions:
* AdaptationExpansion: The episode is an adaptation of the first two strips of the comic, so this was inevitable.
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: A two-person variant.
* MrImagination: Calvin ends up ''introducing'' it to Hobbes in the original version. He's able to figure out that the former is this in the revised version.
