I particularly like his look in the final frame
The look on his face in the last panel is possibly unique to this strip.
The older I get the more I realize just how much Bill Watterson was right about everything
Honestly, this comic captures so much of the society we live in. And it has become so much worse too with the advent of social media.
That’s just bringing the cost down, the amount of donation requests and catalogs my 70-80 y/o parents receive on a weekly basis is astounding.
And my dad has been dead for 10 years and still getting tons.
Like at least 5+ pounds of mailers a week, most with those fucking annoying little envelope windows. Around thanksgiving it doubles or triples in weight with the extra catalogs, and crazy shit like dream catchers, (garbage) work gloves & plastic shopping bags, calendars, note pads, address labels, calendars, notepads (I can’t emphasize enough how many there are).
A $20 donation from a few people can’t possibly result in more than $1-2 making to people in need.
I miss magazines. sigh
I got an online magazine you can read, but its not about the latest trends. solar low tech magazine. It’s got some interesting reads.
Thanks. I used to like online magazines, but even they’re not the same as experience as they used to be. I miss looking forward to a physical copy of a magazine each month, reading it cover to cover, the way it’d be kind of bent and curled with my fingerprints in the ink when I was finally done with it. Then I’d look forward to next month’s issue. I don’t think that feeling is coming back.
I suppose I have grown into Calvin’s parents
