Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 19, 1988
February 18, 1988

Transcript:
Calvin: I'be got to go to school tomorrow morning! what' will the kids say if I'm an owl?! Oh, no, I'm doomed! I'm doomed! Hobbes: Since when do owls go to school? Calvin: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Zip-a-dee-ay! My oh my, what a wonderful day!
Look, whatever issues there are with that movie, we kids of that era were shown it in all innocence, just like certain now-infamous Tom and Jerry and Looney Toons cartoons. The song itself is upbeat and fun and has nothing to do with race or racism. It’s just about being happy. Let’s not be ridiculous here.

Anyone who says the movie is racist clearly hasn’t seen the movie.

There is NOTHING racist about “Song of the South”. It’s a GREAT movie. And that’s a GREAT song.

Maybe Calvin could’ve sang “I love to sing-a, about the moon-a and the june-a and the spring-a!”
