'Mom says the pills must be working'

One of our readers, Luke, submitted this piece of satire, commenting, "In case you haven't cried today..." I don't know the origin of the piece - so of course, I'm posting it point blank without attribution in the hope that I'll get yelled at until we figure out the source.

I always figured calvin kind of weaned from hobbes to the point where he wasnt dependent on him. Possibly to the point of imaginary hobbes non existance. A less sadder version with a somewhat happy ending.
I figure calvin wouldnt get meds. If his parents put up with him so much in the past comics without getting some sleeping pills and therapy in a straightjacket then im sure in todays world they wouldnt reach for adhd.

For some who must decide if their children do or do not need medication, this strip hits painfully close to home.

This photoshop is as old as the internet. It was a favorite within the Something Awful forums around 4 or 5 years ago to the point that it stopped illiciting nostalgic sadness and became a way of seeing who hasn't been around very long.

Don't know if it originated from there, but it sure as hell wasn't created by Watterson.

ah for some reason i thought it was a parody strip since i couldn't imagine this actually being published by watterson.
