calvin and jobs

When MAD magazine's Jacob Lambert (writer) and Gary Hallgren (artist) took the most imaginative 6 year old boy and replaced his stuffed tiger with a Steve Jobs doll (of Apple fame), it created some serious waves around the globe. While some described it as comic-strip murder, others found no harm done towards the original creation and applauded the effort with lols and hahas.

The 8 comic-strips are a parody on Apple Inc., its infamous owner and their much sought after marketing practices (read as tactics). Among C & H fans, Apple haters & those who got a glimpse of the ingenious creation, I really fail to understand why some couldn't see the lighter side to it.

Here is Steve Jobs, morphed from a philosophical tiger to a killer CEO, in a never before seen avatar.
