Unintentional Allegory

I’m not sure what was happening in the news in August, 1992 – I was still in the Army, and in fact we were in the field almost the entire month, so any news that might have happened would have escaped my attention.
But I’ll tell you – my thought on seeing this cartoon from 8/21/92 was that it could have been drawn this past week, about about the situation in Israel today.
It’s hard to co-exist with things that want to kill you.
Or am I reading too much into it? I expect so – Watterson wasn’t an editorial cartoonist, after all.
I wonder if we could set fire to the bed without burning the house down.
Anyway, I’ve said it before – make Calvin & Hobbes a regular read. It’s still the best.
