Not with the pills, but with Calvin suddenly realizing he liked Suzy, or something like that, and turning around and finding Hobbes remained a stuffed animal even after spoken to. Depressing. Thank goodness it didn't really end that way. Those Robot Chicken guys are dark, man. I hope they can sleep at night. I was convinced that C&H was going to end with something like #2 above.
