That’s me and cats everytime. I’ll be having a quiet conversation at someone’s house and their cat will come flying out of nowhere and pounce on me. Usually nails and teeth are involved and the cat’s owner will say, ” I think he likes you.” Meanwhile I’m thinking to myself, “If we were in the wild kitty you wouldn’t get a second chance!”
2 arvelru; … I agree with you, attempting to advertise or sell things on this site is abhorent, but HOW do you propose we take action. For my part, every time I see a sales/promotion “comment”, I flag it. Don’t know what happens from there on, but at least it should be noted somewhere ….
Hobbes there are real big tigers in the jungle not so good for you too.
Calvin is like me,I dont live in a jungle, for me I just will not live where the snake is big enough to eat me
arvelru, I’m a 35-year IT and networking professional. I don’t want to give the spammers any ideas here, but why don’t you program your firewalls to reject any packets/messages that contain certain text strings? Or add one backend step to your registration process and tracert the session and selectively block the process?
GoComics is not the only website having this spam problem.
Been lurking here for ages, grew up loving this comic, best of all time.
Would be interesting to see what this scene would look like from a passer-by. Calvin climbs the tree, places stuffed tiger, shakes tree, waits for stuffed tiger to land on him, fights with stuffed tiger, shouts at the top of his lungs.
arvelru, the only way I can see the elimination of spam happeining is by forcing everyone pay for the right to view….By being bounced daily these guys could get bounced often enough to make the cost of advertising too high if they were bounced often enough and the cost of being a member were high enough.

As ever, Hobbes proves you can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the tiger!

Since Hobbes lives on canned tuna fish, I don’t rate his chances in the jungle very high, either.

Hobbes is right Calvin. You should be more alert.
Just because you don’t live in the jungle is no reason not to pay attention to the world around you.

Haven’t you heard? It is a jungle out there.

Gives new meaning to the words “jungle gym”. Hobbes is God’s way of keeping Calvin at least a little humble….

Other than flagging, what are we supposed to do? I always flag the ads when I come accross them.

That’s so true, Calvin would’nt last an hour in the jungle. By The Way. Check out the song ” Check yes juliet”. Grooveshark

Calvin needs to understand that this is a dog eat dog world, or in this case, a tiger eat tiger world.
