    For someone who feels like they need to enlighten the rest of the world on what friends really are and the reality of life, the majority, if not all, of your comments are negative. ON A COMIC STRIP COMMENT SECTION!! LOL. You have every right to your opinion, but please keep your self righteous negative thoughts to yourself.

    How exactly does anyone under 20 now about calvin and hobbes?

    I’m all for internet awareness (I once met a girl I found online, said she was 22, she was 14. Ugh). But I was unaware this was a site to meet people.

    Welcome back Dogsniff, I usually read all the comments at the end of the week when i have more time, So I missed all the fun. I assume your comment that got you banned was in your usual form of straight up humour and therefore quite innocent, if maybe not necessarily suitable for the mixed audience of minors and dare I say extremist prudes, which are inevitable where ever you go..Watch what you say but don’t let it change you..Good to have you back your comments have the ability to make you smile and occasionally cringe :D

    It makes a lot of sense after being tumble-dried for 30 minutes or more.

    I just read this one in my complete collection last night. It’s from Jan. 3, 1987. It’s also fun to see what’s on tap for next week.

    What’s your problem? How’s this for reality? We mostly adults here. Well some of us are in our second childhood but we’re not about to wander out of the house to go meet a stranger. We come to sites like this to pass the time and share a lsugh, not to have any real physical contact with people.As for expecting a predator to be honest, well, sweetie, it just ain’t gonna happen.If you have children you’re worried about, go spend some time with them and keep them so busy they don’t feel the need for the attention of a stranger.

    I posted a note on several strips a couple of days ago saying “FRIENDS” read such and such. It was so much easier than saying “Fellow readers and commenters.” I also posted the comic in question on my Facebook page so my “Friends” could read it there. I know the difference in degrees of friendship.

    You’re upset because we stood up for someone that we don’t personally know.Was there a time when you were persecuted unjustly and no one stood up for you?If you are so concerned about pedophiles maybe you should add pen pals to your list also. It is not as fast but just as reliable as our comments are.

    rougue53 is taking life waaaay too serious! This is a COMIC strip site. Leave comments about how funny Calvin is – or Hobbes funny eyes in panels 1 and 2, or Bill Watterson’s genius. Recaps of Dateline are unneccessary. If I wanted to watch “To Catch a Predator” I would watch it – I am reading my funny pages now – so shut up!

    This is only my second visit to this site, first time was Tues., five days ago. Not much has changed, everybody’s still worshiping Dogsniff. But it seems nobody loves Dogsniff, as much as Dogsniff.

    I have a gut feeling he’s going to come up with some highly entertaining comments about my comment.

    Dearest rouge53 it is I. The one you called a butt sniffer. This is a comic. It is supposed to be fun. We like to share this fun with others we refer to as ‘FRIENDS’. I truly don’t understand why this bothers you so. As it was pointed out earlier, you never really KNOW anyone. Have you never been deceived by someone you KNOW. I would think that at this age we have all learned this lesson. We call each other friend simply because we enjoy the banter, jokes and the like minded commentary. Unfortunately for you, we also sometimes enjoy the banter with the crazies. Pedophiles, really? For all you KNOW, the person living next door could be one, so always watch your back. I KNOW I do. Your friend BUTT SNIFFER. Mwah Haahahaaaaaaaaa!

    For those of you who haven’t been following this week:

    The reason I made the previous commentary was because so many of you will call each other friends without knowing the slightest thing about each other. (The example of NBC’s show was merely an example, but I see some of you rean with it) All you really have to base this so called friendship on is what is printed here.

    One member (Dogsniff) got banned for linking to a porn site, but you call him your friend and come to his aid. What do you know about him other than what he allows you to see? I don’t know anything about him, other than what I read, but that certainly does not make him a friend…. OR an enemy, which I seem to have become for stating the truth.

    One of my first comments in C&H years ago had to do with this being a comic strip and a place to come for a morning laugh with breakfast. I was quickly informed by Hobbes (the impostor) that this was a site for ALL kinds of discussion, as Watterson used the comic strip to convey deeper meaning than the obvious. Now perhaps you need to preach to your preacher, and his new favorite sidekick Dogsniff.

    For the record Jkissmya, I never called you any such thing. Go back and re-read it if you have forgotten. The implication may be there, but if you choose to call yourself that for your own reasons, so be it.

    You know, I really don’t have a clue to what all this is about. I guess I just felt like poking the bear, so to speak, and you seemed to be the bear. You do have a lot of fans that are loyal and say you’re very funny.Honestly Dogsniff, I have no problem with you whats-so-ever. As a matter of fact, I probably should apologize, I was feeling a bit antagonistic this morning, and much to your credit, you were cool.

    I’m sorry . . . but aren’t you the same person who said in a post on Wednesday “to each his own” when it comes to regarding people you don’t personally know as “friends”? So why are you still talking about it? What do pedophiles and “To Catch A Predator” have to do with today’s comic? What has gone so terribly wrong in your life that you just can’t let this go? Why does it bug you so much? Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for free speech. I may not like what you’ve got to say but I’ll defend your right to say it. But in my opinion, there’s a difference between having your say about something . . . and completely beating a dead horse over and over again! It just gets really, really old (not to mention sometimes offensive). You’ve had your say as to why you think people shouldn’t be calling people they’ve never met a “friend” and that’s fine. But if people still want to do it, then that should be fine too. As you said a few days ago: “to each his own”. Now it’s time to let it go and move on to what we’re all supposed to be doing here — and that’s enjoying a wonderfully funny comic and all the camaraderie that goes along with it when you’ve got so many people gathered together in one spot from all over the world you also enjoy the antics of our beloved Calvin and Hobbes!

    By the way, this is Dictionary.com’s definitions of a friend:

     

    1. A person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.

    2. A person who gives assistance; patron; supporter.

    3. A person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile.

    4. A member of the same nation, party, society, etc.

    5. An ally in a fight or cause.

     

    I’d say a great majority of these definitions can — and do — apply to the people here. No where does it say that you absolutely, positively must know someone personally before you can otherwise call them a friend.

    I’m about 16 comments short of 1,000 (and a few bricks shy of a load, but that’s a different matter), some critiques, some comments, some rebuttals, and maybe a funny one or 2. I don’t know any of you and you could all be perverts (aren’t we all?) but the comment’s are 99% funny and/or communal. It seems there is now an element of readers that take this stuff way too damn serious.The cure is to take your eyes and keyboard over to yahoocomics.com and read them there, where there are no commentators. Leave the rest of us alone.And don’t forget to eat your spinach.
