In the 10th Anniversary book Watterson wrote a brief commentary on this comic where he mentions reading a bunch of art critique books to get a feel for how these articles were written. That book was released 25 years ago, and I don't even remember when this particular comic was first published.

This ideology has been going on for decades, and we ignored it because we figured it would go away on its own. That was about as wise as ignoring a cancerous lump.

McCarthy was right, we just didn't properly heed the warning.
