Users of the language write Modern Hebrew from right to left using the Hebrew alphabet. As a result the comic strip panels from right to left, which means the story starts at the top-right and ends at the bottom-left corner!
The "Comics Newspaper", edited by Batsheva and Katfogel, was a biweekly comics magazine that appeared in Israel between 1992–1995. The initial set of strips included Calvin and Hobbes and was described by a native collector as:
"A comic about Calvin, a rich-imagined six-year-old boy, and his imaginary friend, the Hobbes tiger doll, whom Calvin imagines to be real. Hobbes serves as a sort of Calvin alter-ego. Calvin suffers from two nervous parents who do not understand his heart. Calvin and Hobbes are one of the most sophisticated comics to have appeared in the comic book and some of the columns that have been published, like the time machine that Calvin invented, are truly ingenious. At first, he went through some of the characters' names in the comic book, for example, his classmate and enemy, Susie, became "Shoshi" but later decided to use only the original names."
