Calvin and Hobbes... view on Crisis... 15 years back !!!

My dear friend Sumit Gahoi mailed me this cartoon which is suggestive of today's economic crisis and bail-out packages.It clearly depicts today's scenario in a form of cartoon.

"Calvin's explanation of his Lemonade Stand's business perspective has a resonance to the American Banking and Auto industry's position in the economy. Remember that this cartoon was drawn over 15 years ago!"



"Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic—albeit stuffed—tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher. The strip was syndicated daily from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995. At its height, Calvin and Hobbes was featured in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide. To date, more than 30 million copies of the 18 Calvin and Hobbes books have been printed."
