I realized something interesting yesterday.

Old Hob is a nickname for the Devil.

Scratch is also a nickname for the Devil.

Two mutant cats, both named after the Devil? I find that interesting... based on that, I think it somewhat likely that Old Hob is slightly based on Scratch.

Old Hob isn't based on anyone-- no one here was aware of Scratch (or Verminator-X, though I sort of remembered him once I started rereading Adventures at the start of our run).

There are some fun coincidences though.

It'd be kinda cool if Hob got a cybernetic eye implant at some point, kind of a nod to Verminator X

Gonna be some similarities, cats are common characters.

I honestly assumed the name was a nod to Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes.

Who knows, maybe Verminator X is a grandson of Hob or something?

Now, this might sound crazy. But I think Hob is based on a cat.
