Calvin was a narcissistic misogynist brat, he's got to be a Republican nowadays.

Can we empty-quote in here? This is not to say that the bigotry of the English press isn't repugnant and that the other Royals aren't as bad or worse. In short, Meghan and Harry are a land of contrasts.

Stantis is a hack and Prickly City will never be Calvin & Hobbes. Bill Watterson did an amazing job of funny political commentary that didn't outright take sides. Here are some comics he published in the Reagan and Bush years.



























Finally, a comic from the first year of President Clinton:



Further evidence that Prickly City will never be Calvin and Hobbes.

I mean I enjoy the awful rich fuckers and the gross UK press fighting in a 'Let them fight' sort of way, ideally they'd find a way to mutually immolate.

Calvin was also incredibly pro environment so it's hard for him to think he'd vote for someone who didn't believe in climate change.

Yeah, it's easy to simultaneously believe that
1: racist tabloids are garbage and
2: aristocrats who proudly proclaim they will become "financially independent" by relying on inherited investment properties are garbage

Mostly to the right

Granted this is just because we read from left to right so this makes sense panel-to-panel in a strip where basically the only movement is walking in a desolate, featureless landscape, but about 1 in 5 where they're clearly moving in a left or right direction they're walking left so, y'know, garbage.

I'm really hoping that the outcome of this Harry & Megan shite is that Brits start to realise that there's nothing seperates the royal family from every other rich arsehole and there's no reason to give them a massive taxpayer stipend when they can sort out their own 'finacial independence' on their own.

Yeah, so they've had all the chances to reduce emissions without risking jobs, apparently, and have only dismantled whatever climate policy we had instead.

His brain is literally dying. You can watch him in real time this year as his frontal lobe shrivels up and his ability to draw or even sign his work suffers.

The bitter irony is that the conservative who railed against the welfare state now needs it...and his wife was denied disability claims for him because he was still making cartoons. Cartoons that very clearly show degradation in his abilities, and he was still denied. And the darkest aspect is that he was only submitting cartoons because drawing was one of the few things that still made him happy. So Holbert I hope your wife’s suffering was worth it to keep those drat welfare queens at bay.
