Hobbes facing forward in panel 5 gives the impression that he turned to face Calvin (since he's not facing him in 4, 6 and 7). I would have used the profile Hobbes facing right in that one to flow with the others (since your Hobbes is looking to Calvin's right from Calvin's perspective).

What? The orientation of Hobbes is the exact same in every panel. That isn't a pov from Calvin, it's just a zoom in.
Yep I understand that perfectly, but the zoom in on an inanimate object makes no sense, so swapping to Calvin's POV would make more.
