It was, in fact...
Hobbes. Choice b. I'll see if I can dig up the exact strip in which he said this. No doubt it was after one of Calvin's complaints about why he isn't as blissfully happy as he obviously deserves to be ;)

Ah, I found the strip it came from.
It's on page 107 of the anthology "Attack Of The Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons" (sorry, the actual publication date has been removed, so until I fulfil my dream of downloading every strip and generating a full-text index, you're stuck with this).

Hobbes:

Calvin:

HEY SUSIE! Heads up! HA HA! <throws snowball> POW
AUGH HELP HELP

Hobbes:
I think *true* happiness can only be found in the wanton indulgence of animals.
