   This is the sentiment that I remembered from the old days of reading this comic. The recent sentiments, commented on by others, about Calvin’s obnoxiousness, etc, do not carry anywhere near the same effect as this.

   When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical.

   There’s more to be said about the Dragon in this one. Usually the villain in such stories, a villain who is normally vanquished. But not today! Love the violence … Revenge on behalf of all the other Dragons slain in other, fairy-tale-ending pandering to pseudo happiness tales …

   Back in the 80s there was money sloshing about everywhere, and the North Pole was still intact resource-wise. Nowadays Santa gets funding from the Gates Foundation, the World Development Banks, IMF, and whoever else cares about anyone else. Hang on, is there a contradiction in there somewhere? Or maybe he gets a 0.002c commission everytime someone sends an SMS to someone else; or perhaps he gets all the money made from “rounding off” figures on people’s bank accounts.

   you’ll probably need to be in a good school - ie: a place you can be free to learn how to think, if you wanna be an astronaut … Do such schools exist? No wonder he refers to them as ‘infinite horrors”

   Here’s a similar take on the situation … the development of an totalitarian society. The post modern totalitarian version of society, would be a little more abstract and complicated than those seen in hitler, mao, etc. Post modern regimes may not be easily defined as being ruled by a single oppressive ruler, but rather, by a socially consented, accepted system, controlled by groups within the ruling classes; this system strives to make us believe we are happy, while we continue to buy into it; and ‘deviant’ if we do not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPw5prYLc5w&feature=related

   jrbj: Fortunately for such heroes as Stupendous Man; who at least gift us with some ‘sanity’ and diversion, allowing us to continue as happy little slaves on Monday morning.

    The totalitarian system has been established already, I’m afraid “Stupendous Man”. And it’s been in power much longer than you’ve been around, which gives it a mighty headstart against any Freedom Fighting Super heroes. But thanks for trying; perhaps you’ll inspire others.
