 <html>There’s a guy with special needs who’s about my age working at my store and he’s having a lot of problems at home, I don’t know the full details but it’s not good, and I’ve been trying to find ways to help him feel more comfortable while he’s at work. The other day I found him reading these old, beat up Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes comics on his break and I asked if he had anything else, and no, he’s been reading these same Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes comics every day. And like, it’s not exactly the same thing, but I got bullied in school, and cartoons helped me cope with that, but even more than that, watching Eddsworld and realizing that any random jerk can do it, and therefore I can do it, REALLY helped me cope with that. Maybe it’s slightly narcissistic, but I thought that if the kid realized his boss drew comics and whatnot just like his Calvin &amp;amp; Hobbes book, it’d help him find an outlet for all those negative feelings he’s been having.</html>
