Don't feel bad! I get mad when I see those Calvin decals on cars, or
Calvin T-shirts (of Calvin and Hobbes) because I know that the creator
never approved any merchandising at all--a decision I applauded--and I
hate to see the stuff misrepresented. It's a sore point. And after an
author or artist dies, who's left to safeguard *their* vision of their
work? I'm all for the estate of Victor Hugo, trying to stifle that Les
Mis II book! You go, guys!
