When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for the newspaper to arrive in the afternoon so I could read Calvin and Hobbes. Later, I was able to persuade my parents to let me buy a couple Calvin and Hobbes books at our school’s book fair (which I later found out were prohibitively expensive!).

One comic in particular jumped out at me. In a terribly rare moment of innocence, Calvin walked up to his dad and asked,” “Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve all the world’s problems?”

That one really stuck with me. Perhaps there’s a more creative solution out there.
