All good (and great) things must come to an end, I suppose, but this is a fave: http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2012/06/20/1554 25230/binky-we-hardly-knew-ye-groening-ends-his-li fe-in-hell-comic-strip Oh well. Let's hope Groening publishes a full Life In Hell anthology...  | ||

They killed Bugs Bunny and Road Runner - many years earlier - the have been dubbing out the kabooms and splats, and mock deaths for at least two decades. PC's damn social creep. I suspect the same for Watterson - he was too on topic many times if you know the philosophic battles between Calvin and Hobbes (the historical debates) My fave of his is http://bestofcalvinandhobbes.com/2011/10/a-swifty- kick-in-the-butt-is-for-sale/ | ||

City- GAWDDD I remember when they started editing that stuff out- I suspect Tipper had something to do with that... made me madder than hell. Tom and Jerry were just phased out altogether. I grew up with ALL of the Merry Melodies/Looney Tunes (somehow the latter were always better!), once had a 6 hour VHS of some of the oldest ones, including a cross-dressing Bugs and one or two that lampooned Hitler- lost that tape to my great chagrin. I think C&H was mothballed when Patterson saw all the redneck "Calvin-piss" stickers ripping him off. Anyhoo, Life In Hell, in all its various flavors, will be missed. | ||

I think C&H was mothballed when Patterson saw all the redneck "Calvin-piss" stickers ripping him off. I remember reading he was very adamant about not licensing ANY Calvin & Hobbes products (dolls, stickers, etc.). I wonder if he made much effort to shut down the rip-offs? |
