Bill Watterson should beat this cartoonist severely. I'm thinking ballpeen hammer (a'la Casino). "What hand do you draw your suspiciously Calvin-esque flag-huggers with?"

Also: NOTE QUIZZICAL (SOCIALIST!) HIPPIE CHILD

WHAT IS CALVIN DOING TO THAT POLE?

Dammit, Nate beat me to it.

Long hair don't always mean hippie:

Well, at least it's better than Sylvia Plath.

Damn it, that's a flag, not a rag! We don't wear it on our heads!

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

We wear it on our shoulders instead!

I too weep for my beloved red white and blue, but not out of pride...

don't read it! it may be a culling song!

I don't think qualifies as a poem it sounds horrible and stilted.

Poor kid, he is obviously not THAT lucky and blessed - he has to hug a flagpole for flip's sake. Talk about emotional deprivation.

Do people have a problem with patriotism? I never thought
ill of it in and of itself. Oh sure, I despise my current
national government - but still hold strong patriotic
feelings for my nation and it's symbols. I'd never say I
feel "pride" in it, though, pride is a dangerous thing.

"I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America... In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases; but woe to him if he goes beyond them... You are free to think differently from me and retain your life, your property and all that you possess, but you are henceforth a stranger among your people. You may retain your civil rights, but they will be useless to you, for you will never be chosen by your fellow citizens if you solicit their votes; and they will affect to scorn you if you ask for their esteem."

Alexis de Tocqueville

well, if i didn't loathe americans before...

"NIGHT LIGHTS AND PILLOW FIGHTS - A TRIP TO STORYLAND"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

reading the rhythm alone:
the couplet "so i pray they will soon/then i weep with pride" totally fucks the metrical effect thus far established = it switches from a strong excited in-some-ways quite likeable busy rush of self-doubting questions — their answers at least rhetorically open-ended — to a really gluey and doubt-haunted closure, the exact opposite of the footsure/cocksure opening

That chick is what Peppermint Patty will look like in five years!

This reminds me of the car sticker w/bootleg Calvin praying in front of a cross. it gives me a quesy feeling.

OH FUCK! It's by GUY GILCHRIST, the RJ who ressurected Nancy in a thick layer of rekindled turd! What will this bastard ruin next????

Blimey. That's just the tweeest, crappest thing I've ever seen.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 3 July 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

not only did I just throw up inside my own mouth after reading this thread, but all my internal parasites and various assorted bugs also threw up inside their own tiny little mouths too.

I wanna kick that guy's ass so much that I'm actually considering getting a graduate degree in Ass Kicking just so I do it right.

maybe he'll do something really bad and go to prison for life in one of those Oz-type scenarios and have to do cartoon tattoos to keep from being raped but the prisoners will hate his tattoos too....

Notice how he nearly ALWAYS mentions his "Two Times National Cartoonist Society Award Winner" credentials...
