It's obviously ironic, don't you see that? @Allan – Just because the strip is saying that pills can make you focus more on reality and less on the world of the imagination does *not* mean that the author of the strip is endorsing that.

It was a joke strip posted somewhere, and it was originally about what would happen if Calvin was on Ritalin. Seems the original point of the parody has been lost.

Remember the James Stewart movie Harvey? How the pills make Harvey disappear? How the cab driver says that that folks are always more fun on being driven to the asylum than back when they are medicated? I see the above strip in that spirit.

It's beautiful in its own way. I almost felt the same way towards this as when I first saw the end of The Snowman. I don’t think it matters that this misses the point of C&H.

Now have a nice glass of lemonade and settle down together with Calvin & Hobbes. That will make you friends again. Oh shit. That's what started all this isn't it? Ooops. That’s better.

"The strip allows us to see the world through the anarchic behaviour of a 5/6/7 year old boy" Really? What an incredibly verbose, insightful, knowledgeable and articulate child you must have been Kenny. Great, I love when online discussions turn into psychological analyses of my childhood.
