Fight Club = Calvin and Hobbes

Das ist ja mal wieder eine Story, an der ich nicht vorbei gehen kann. René von Nerdcore hat einen Artikel von Galvin P. Chow ausgebuddelt, in dem Letzterer detailliert und einleuchtend ausarbeitet, dass Fight Club in Wirklichkeit eine Calvin-and-Hobbes-Version für Erwachsene ist. Denn:

In both cases, the entity that began as the ideal companion soon took on a more realistic, three-dimensional quality. In other words, they became real. This is evident in that both Hobbes and Tyler also began to function as scapegoats for their creators. For instance, consider that Calvin often blames broken lamps and other assorted household mischief on Hobbes, and that Jack is inclined to believe that Fight Club and other various anti-society mischief is brought about by Tyler, not himself. Calvin claims Hobbes pounces on him every day after school; Jack believes Tyler beats him up next to 40 kilotons of nitroglycerin in a parking garage—the list goes on and on.

Und so geht das seitenweise weiter. Tja, als bekennender Calvin-and-Hobbes-Verehrer und zumindest geflashter Fight-Club-Zuschauer muss ich diesen Artikel einfach weiterposten.
