This was sent to me as an LOL; on the other hand, though…

dna

… at least they got it right: if test results I’ve seen are to be believed, a person’s ancestry is very close to random. Which I suspect it is not.

My brother, according to his, has an ancestry entirely different from mine (and no, we didn’t even have a milkman when he was born), while his wife’s is more similar to mine (and no, we are not from the hills of West Virginia).

“The Cheapening of the Comics” by Bill Watterson

(The original URL “brunothebandit.com/watterson.html” no longer works.)

This is (now: was) the text of a speech Calvin’s real-life dad gave back in 1989.

Yes, almost 30 years ago. Before CIDU even existed. More importantly, before anybody was thinking in terms of the Internet becoming a delivery system for comic strips.

Feel free to add your own thoughts, of course…
