It's a good point. Who would you rather have as a sidekick: a nice guy with a bone in his hair who sells your jokes, or a homicidal maniac?

Oh, and if Hobbes doesn't take this bracket, I'm taking hostages. Sorry, but it must be said. I'm still praying for Bill Watterson's triumphant comeback.

I'm still in counseling over Gabrielle's loss.

It wouldn't surprise me for Woodstock to win the bracket, he seems like the classical cartoon sidekick that people like.
