"This was another one of those scripts that changed quite a bit from the original idea. I first had the idea of the Hunter auditioning for the role of Tigger in Winnie the Pooh, but I could not get an good punchline. The joke is in the pounce and his pounce is not what he is known for . . . that would be bouncing and being the only one of his kind. On the other hand, Hobbes of Calvin and Hobbes notiriety was quite popular in his pouncing of Calvin upon arriving home from school which made for a better fit."
