Calvin's tiger companion, in the comics

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hobbes

(Other definitions for hobbes that I've seen before include "Thomas --, English political philosopher" , "17th century English philosopher" , "Thomas --, English philosopher (Leviathan)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
