    I mean GoComics clearly has some online licensing deal worked out to host Calvin And Hobbes. It probably wasn’t free.

    Reddit now is not just some private community, it’s a publicly traded company stepping on their license and the traffic they should be seeing.

    Also the cross IP stuff that people love to post probably doesn’t help things. It’s a complete legal quagmire and I’ve a feeling Watterson probably isn’t a fan of it either.
