WOW, it’s incredible, I can’t agree with ANY of you about this particular strip… I remember first seeing it a decade ago (at least), and it is still one of my favorite panels from the comic. It appears to be a polarized view here, a collection of cynical realists or ostriches with rose-colored glasses on… no offense.
As far as those stuck in the real world - I agree with you in that there IS real truth in this strip, but it is optimistic and forward-looking, not the cynical diatribes you’ve been twisting it into. I hear a generation (Calvin’s & mine) that is willing to take on personal responsibility for making positive change happen in the world.
For those who only want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend comics are just a world to escape to, I guess that’s your choice, but you’re missing an entire dimension to the art shared in comics - real things shared that matter.
