Calvin and Hobbes was a daily comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson which was widely syndicated between November 1985 and December 1995, described in The Atlantic as follows: Often, when world events prompt scenarios under which U.S. troops may be sent into harm's way, one particular Calvin and Hobbes strip related to the issue of military conflict is circulated online, typically followed by queries about its authenticity: Even viewers familiar with Calvin and Hobbes have sometimes questioned the legitimacy of this particular cartoon, feeling it to be atypical of Watterson's work. And since it's not uncommon to see comic strips that have been altered to replace the original dialogue with political messages, such skepticism is not out of place. However, in this case the panel seen above is neither altered nor out of character with the artist's body of work -- it is an accurate reproduction of a Calvin and Hobbes strip originally published on Feb. 18, 1991.
