My apologies, shall I remove it?
Personally, I only encountered it for the first time a few weeks ago. I see it less as a commentary on the demise of childhood, than as a scathing criticism of a socety that would rather force defenseless children to take powerful medications so that they do not have to deal with children being themselves.
No, keep it up. I might have overreacted here, and I apologize. It just hits home a bit: I've always identified a lot with Calvin, since my childhood was a lot like his-- granted, I didn't go looking for trouble like him, but I basically spent all my time in my imagination, which baffled parents and educators. To see the effective demise of my childhood hero, even as a joke, is disturbing for me; I laughed at the strip the first time I saw it, but not any time since.
This is nothing about you or the cartoon, just more about me and my own triggers.
