Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for April 28, 1993
Transcript:
Calvin: Hey Dad, I'm doing a traffic safety poster. Do you have any ideas for a slogan? Dad: Sure! "Cyclists have a right to the road too, you noisy, polluting, inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!" Calvin: Thanks, Dad. I'll go ask Mom. Dad: Why? That's a great slogan!

Yeah, Dad. I hope you enjoy riding that bicycle to and from work in all seasons. Do you a have a set of good snow tires for that thing? “Stratofreeze” air conditioning is not as good as you may think. The oil companies are only too happy to make your hope(s) a reality!
