For non-Americunts

I'm guessing this is an American thing because only in America would stickers of a young boy peeing on a Ford logo be a sensation but - if you're wondering where Chris got that image, it's Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame) peeing. In the mid-90s, these were a huge thing, usually with rednecks, like with Calvin peeing on the Ford logo which they'd place on their Chevy pickup truck rear window or Calvin peeing on a Chevy logo. I think it reached its peak in the late 90s when I remember an Internet thread complaining about a guy who sold stickers of Calvin peeing on the NAACP (he defended himself by saying he also had stickers of Calvin peeing on the KKK and "I just sell the stuff").

Could someone doublecheck the "unnecessary" quotation marks around "Gregg Mays"? I forget if that was part of the style of the stickers or part of Chris's fail. --Champthom 21:54, 28 October 2009 (CET)

  • They usually don't have quotes around whatever they're peeing on, if it's just text instead of a proper logo. Anaconda 23:45, 28 October 2009 (CET)
  • I took it to mean that Chris was demonstrating that he now knows that Clyde Cash is real, whereas "Gregg Mays" is fake - merely a mask that Clyde sometimes hides behind. Llort 03:36, 29 October 2009 (CET)

Changed "panel" to "parody" - as the peeing wasn't canon. Apologies for being pedantic, but...poor Bill Watterson. Sussuro 10:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
