The lion and the stuffed tiger

The Complete Calvin and HobbesChristianity Today‘s web site has a great article contrasting Disney’s recent merchandising of “The Chronicles of Narnia” with Bill Watterson’s principled refusal to merchandise “Calvin and Hobbes.” (Except, of course, for releasing collections of the comic strips, like the complete collection you see here. But that’s not the same thing as toys and T-shirts.)
