| − | '''Marvin''' was an early concept for [[Calvin]]. He was just like [[Calvin]] except that he had much longer, shaggier hair. |
||
| − | The name was eventually changed to [[Calvin]], then later [[Bill Watterson]] removed the long hair as he felt it looked ridiculous for such long hair to be covering the boy's eyes. |
||

| − | Few strips exist with Marvin. One was where he's in his [[Spaceman Spiff]] outfit in class and gets sent to the headmaster. A second strip had Marvin eating dinner with his parents and requesting him to take some to [[Hobbes]]. [[Calvin's father|Marvin's father]] (an older looking version of the later design Calvin's father) is unaware of [[Hobbes]], to which [[Marvin's mother|Calvin's mother]] (Also a more older looking version of Calvin's mother) explains that Hobbes is an imaginary friend and chalks up Marvin's request to desiring extra helpings. Marvin then brings the food to [[Hobbes]], who said the request for wine was denied. A third strip that did get completely revamped was where Marvin sneaks out of his house at three in the morning, going to a nearby payphone to ask his father "Do you know where I am?". |

| − | [[Bill Watterson]] eventually ditched the '''Marvin''' name after (2?) strips but kept the longer hair design temporarily, before removing it after (3?) strips: |
