I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.

Watterson considers comics to be as true an art form as painting and films and literature, capable of reaching just as high as any other medium. Calvin and Hobbes isn't accidentally high art. Watterson made it what it is on purpose. And when he was done, he stopped. No movie, no spinoff, no reboot. He considers the comic to be its completed form, in exactly the medium it is supposed to be. He believed in comics in a way few others ever have, and he fought tooth and nail for the right to take his own work, jokes and all, seriously.

I've been trying for a very long time to understand what is a "video game" but I think I figured it out

He loves getting raked by the back scratcher. He is my zen garden

laughing my ass off at the fact they finally made an assassins creed game that takes place in japan but they made it so you have to play as either a girl or a black man and these geeks are on suicide watch

also the man in question is a real guy who existed and was one of nobunaga's right hand men

which reminds me that they have to lock the wikipedia page because racists are so mad theyre pretending to be japanese in the wiki page edit notes

listening to the pronunciation samples wikipedia offers of different types of consonants and you know what, I don't believe some of these are actually different sounds. I think this is some audiophile shit like gold-plated cables.

someone's mad they didn't encounter more phonemically contrastive environments during their critical period of language development
