Objectively, it's far more troubling that they're banning Toni Morrison and David Levithan and Art Spiegelman and any books that even hint at representing the right's Horsemen of the Apocalypse

But there's something so completely batshit about banning _Calvin and Hobbes_, a comic strip so family friendly that it ran uncensored in the most conservative newspapers in the country for more than a decade

‘Magic Tree House’ Author, ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ among hundreds of Tennessee book bans - PEN America

The removals in Tennessee are the result of a growing political movement to control information through book banning.

Calvin & Hobbes for me is about freedom of imagination, of being nonconformist and happy about it, about being self-sufficient and/or -reliant, about being independent, it is about being reflective sometimes, and its even a mild, sly and good-hearted satire of suburbia. From this perspective I can see why its banned by the ghouls that have the reins now.
