Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne, children’s poet Shel Silverstein and Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson have joined Judy Blume, Sarah J. Maas, Eric Carle and Kurt Vonnegut on a mind-boggling list of hundreds of books purged from some Tennessee school libraries.

    These people are going after anything that might imply nudity at all. I seem to remember Calvin had an immense hatred of baths. So once his mom finally got him in, poof, that now has to go, because he’s naked under all that water.

    I’m surprised they don’t just ban all visual art that depicts humans, since everyone is naked under their clothes.

        I always loved Calvin’s snowman hijinks. And Spaceman Spiff. And all the “I’M HOOoooOOOOooome!”

      Geez… God forbid there’s a copious amount of bubbles or something covering anything if Calvin ever does jump back out of the bath
