Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

so basically you are saying that kids that have imaginations, are bad for them. From what I am hearing from you is that your kids should not have imaginations, and should basically do nothing but stare at a TV or some type of electronic device instead of having an imaginations like Calvin?
and other thing. How the heck could a kid have trauma with a tiger at Calvin's age? they would have to have had a bad experience with one or watch a bad movie, to even have the thought of trauma.
That is not at all what I said so re-read the first two sentences of my last comment. What you are "hearing" and what I wrote are two completely different things. There is quite a bit of baked-in nuance you are completely missing.
If I didn't say something, don't just make shit up and try and tell me "that what I am actually saying is...", especially when the discussion is all hypothetical anyway.
I didn't say a bad word at all and hear you are getting all grumpy
HAY!!! No cause here
