The cartoon is a great send up of the concepts from C&H, but that strip was an absolute staple of my growing up years and I still love it dearly, so it hurts my soul to see it stained by the loathsome beast that is Donald J. Trump Sr.

*BTW, if future strips are created, please make Trump's hair look more foolish, thanks!

Need a new fork name: Melvin and Robbie - nah, too derivative.

How about: Barron and Tiffany. Cool kids with insights on how the real world doesn't work.
