Even though it's a fake, that is indeed rather sad. Though also, I fear, fair comment.

Dibbers - you have mail.

The only ones I have are all paperback, but the first editions were ones I found through friends of friends and were (then - about 10 years ago) too expensive - they were, probably, not actually that expensive really.

Will look it out if anybody is interested.

Why is this sad?

For me, it was the wonderful imagination of a little boy that could take himself outside the realms of reality and with his best friend, have adventures as a number of different characters. Calvin was also extremely blunt when it came to stating the truth about certain scenarios - he cut through the crap and saw everything in black and white as often a child does.

The fact that the strip mentions pills to curb his activities shows that society will do what ever it takes to control and average everyone out.

It is the death of ideas and creativity. There's a Calvin in all of us - or at least there was...

Just my take - written quickly.

Agreed.

I also agree with Batty, in that I detest how images that once portrayed innocence, are used in such a way. Maybe we're all sentimental fools, but I'm glad I'm one of them.
