Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 30, 1985
December 29, 1985
December 31, 1985
Transcript:
Hobbes: It says here that by the age of six... ...most children have seen a million murders on television. Calvin: I find that very disturbing! It means I've been watching all the wrong channels.
Calvin and Hobbs was the best comics ever! I remember when Bill quit submitting new ones, a sad day indeed . I hope he got rich and is living the good life.
Back in 1975, Doonesbury quoted 11000 murders by age 14, which seems a little more believable, but still pretty sick. See https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1975/09/14

I think what Calvin views as “right” and “wrong” are all switched around.

It’s just the moral guardians throwing a tantrum, as usual.
