Mr. Hart, I loved thee, and cancelled my newspaper subscription when they cancelled you. You were too “devisive.”
See ya later, brother!
Interesting to see this strip. My newspaper chopped the first two panels and all I saw were the bottom two rows. I’m sure that the folks at the newspaper thought it wouldn’t matter to drop the first two panels, but it adds to the strip (and, more importantly, is part of Hart’s work).
It’s awfully irritating to see the papers really mess up some of these strips by limiting to a certain number of panels, space, etc. I sure can understand why Bill Watterson told all the newspapers to take a hike when he quit Calvin & Hobbes over stuff like this.
