This character should be folded, mutilated, spindled, erased, shot, stabbed, strangled, poisoned and hit with a phaser set to "deep fat fry." Not only is this character offensive in its own right, it is blasphemous. Anyone who remembers the day-to-day genius of Bill Watterson's masterful comic strip ought to be deeply offended by every mouth-breather of a moron who has a "pissing Calvin" on his truck.
In a just world, it should be legal to throw a brick through the window of every vehicle that has a "pissing Calvin" on a window. If no bricks are handy, Molotov Cocktails should be permitted as viable alternatives.
Now this, this is genius at work:
I loved Calvin and Hobbes. Thanks for this! I agree about the pissing Calvin.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about the pissing Calvin and the praying Calvin--have you seen that one? Sweet jaysus.
ReplyDeleteLet's put together a kit with a razor blade and a brick. We'll sell it for the low, low price of $9.95 + S&H. People can try to scrape off the Calvin with the razor blade first, and if that doesn't work, then use the brick.
ReplyDeleteCalvin and Hobbes were in that rare spot in ones life that was only eclipsed by the Far Side cartoons and that was only occasional.
ReplyDeleteCalvin was consistently brilliant with insight into the twisted mind of a typical five year old male child, who was rapidly approaching Forty.
