Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 29, 1993

Transcript:

Calvin: I read another article whining about how much violence is on television. So I've seen a few thousand homicides in my day! What's the big deal?! It's my right to watch violence on TV! It's people like me who make these programs profitable! I say the customer is always right, and if advertisers want me to watch TV, they shows had better pander to my tastes! ...And frankly, I like to watch shoot outs, car wrecks, fist fights, and grisly murders! I like to be entertained! Hobbes: Don't you worry that all this violence is desensitizing? Calvin: Nahh. I'd like to shoot the idiots who think this stuff affects me.
