A friend forwarded me a classic Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip where Bill Watterson takes a shot at greedy capitalists. Calvin’s selling lemonade for $15 a glass and Susie Derkins calls him out on it, whereby Calvin offers a number of excuses for the exorbitant price.
I laughed and found myself missing the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. I also wondered if my kids will ever have the same experience of finding these jewels on the comics page each day.
There will never be another Calvin and Hobbes. If newspapers ever disappear that will be guaranteed.
I’ve had a Calvin & Hobbes strip delivered via email every day for about the last 9 or 10 years. It never, ever gets old.
Your Kids are out of luck … at least if the current comics in the newspaper are any indication … I try to read them and just get mad because nothing is funny!!!
It’s amazing just how accurate that specific strip is, even today.
