Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 29, 2015

Speaking of saying something important…….OK, after reading yesterday’s comments, some of which have now been deleted, it’s time for Calvin and Hobbes commenters to begin being civil to one another. We all have a lot in common. We all enjoy Calvin and Hobbes. We all have a sense of humor. If we can’t be friends on that basis, then we don’t belong here.Political discussion is fine if it is relevant to the strip of the day, but only if the posters have respect for people of differing opinions. If even Calvin and Hobbes fans can’t be civil to each other, then there is very little hope for our government’s political process, and we have no right to criticize our politicians.Perhaps many of us are here because we relate to Calvin from our own childhoods. That’s also fine, but we are adults now. When it comes to how we conduct ourselves on this site, it’s time for all of us to grow up and stop acting like the six-year-old that Calvin represents.I think that there is a huge silent majority out there reading these comments, but on days like yesterday, the comments tend to get dominated by a few negative people. When that sort of thing happens, I would encourage all of you to speak up and take back this site for what it was intended to be — a place for Calvin and Hobbes fans around the globe to enjoy communicating with one another. Don’t let a few people ruin it for all the rest of us.Your friend, HobbesClick here (or stretch image): Calvin and Hobbes (August 8, 1992)Click here: Peanuts (October 20, 1958)Click here: Peanuts (October 23, 1958)Click here: Pearls Before Swine (March 7, 2002)Click here: Peanuts (December 25, 1965)Click here: Calvin and Hobbes (July 14, 1992)
