all us old guys love Calvin and Hobbs
The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Re: Calvin & Hobbes
True classics, I really enjoy them, and notice the resemblance between myself and Calvin more often than I'd admit to my parents.

Like Calvin and Hobbes, some people have way too much time and creativity:
