Once in a while I make sense in my own, non-existentialist, non-nihilist, un-modern, Gooberish way.
Good night.

And in the end, he won.

I thought he lost. I thought the story was he would not even copyright Calvin and his characters fell into the public domain.
Thus his anti-capitalist stance backfired on him and he suffer his creating whizzing on the back of 25% of the pickup trucks in the US. All because he was against profits.

Calvin & Hobbes was fun. Dilbert still gets my vote, though. Brilliant, brilliant stuff.

Since y'all have chosen to buddy up, I'm going to feel free to respond to both of you at once. 1) I don't bloody care whether you like the same things I do. 2) I don't care that you choose not to read a relevant portion of the comic I recommended before passing judgment on it. 3) I don't care that you choose to insult my intelligence; quite frankly, I know with a high degree of probability that I'm smarter than you are, and Internet insults are certanly not going to change that knowledge.
Again, I apologize for having posted a link that may have expanded your horizons; I hope that you can safely return to your previous lives without too many scars.

You're welcome. Even though I don't enjoy seeing FR posters tossing insults as answers to intellectual discussions, I am glad when lurkers get to see who here posts analysis and who posts anti-intellectual nonsense.

I thought C&H's creator must've authorized those awful decals. I'm glad to hear that's not his work, because I enjoyed his comic strip.

Swing and a miss. I was actually being kinda condescending to the nonsense you both had previously posted. But, thanks for playing, anyways; I imagine that if you keep reading others' posts, you'll find that reading a diversity of viewpoints can actually strengthen your arguments, if you'd only let them.

Absolutely; "Get Fuzzy" is about the most brilliant strip in the papers today!

Watterson's characters are most CERTAINLY not in the public domain. The artist himself owns them, a result of his long-ago wrangling with Universal. The pissing-Calvin stickers are not legal by any means.
Besides, Watterson's stance wasn't anti-capitalist.... it was in deference to the idea that a comic strip can be a work of ART, and that art should not be commercially prostituted. If anything, CALVIN AND HOBBES is loved and revered not in spite of its relative commercial scarceness, but BECAUSE its creator fought to keep just anything from being done with it.
