Do you have an example of that? It's a pretty niche topic to decide he was being curmudgeonly. A lot of people think that about modern art whether they're wrong or not they're usually pretty normal people.

If only someone would build a Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine where someone could look for "Modern Art" references in the text: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1990/11/02

Banksy the pretend street artist?

This is awesome. Took 5 seconds to find this and I still say the last Calvin line of this strip on most mornings: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1988/12/28

That's really similar to one of my favorites: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1990/07/31

Ha! That’s exactly what I thought it’d be!

But how does someone read that as a criticism of modern art (whatever that is) and not Watterson resisting the commercialization of his work?

I remember a comic strip I attribute to Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin basically adopts every world religion in order to take every day off of school. But I can't find it.. any one know which one I am thinking of? Or do I have it wrong?

That isn't one of the strips I was referring to, and that one is mid-period Watterson and not late-period Watterson anyway. But since my original post got the reception it did here, I am not going to dig through the archive to find the ones I meant.
