Here’s a speech from 1989, in which Bill Watterson speaks about the cheapening of newspaper comics, and the syndicates’ misuse of licensed characters: http://web.archive.org/web/20060210115506/http://hobbes.ncsa.uiuc.edu/comics.html#license Not only that, but the joke here is so awful that it makes one wonder if the “artist” has actually ever read Calvin and Hobbes, or played Portal.  “Glados” is a box that is also two portals, a foot apart?  Oh good, and a cake joke.  I miss 2007, too.
