I Love Calvin and Hobbes

One Of The Best

By: Mejoe

Written on November 8th, 2011

Calvin and Hobbes was one of the best ever comics. I loved the way it was drawn and the humor in it. Calvin was right on as a boy yet evry adult could relate to him. I love the faces they make.
Too bad Bill Watterson decide to give it up. I think he was tired of the business aspect with newspapers and such telling him how to do his art.
I have 8 or 9 books of Calvin on my self and pull them out from time to time for a good laugh.

hmmm...I wonder what a Hemingway sticker would say???......

Yes, thank you, Mejoe. You just inspired a few Christmas gifts.

Our Calvin books have always disappeared over the years.

Somehow I'm okay with that. Thieves with a sense of humor!

Watterson is an artist. Calvin and Hobbes was his creation. He refused to sell out.

It's like asking Hemmingway if he wants to make some cool bumper-stickers.

I think Bill likes to be a recluse, he didn't like the fame. He never wanted to be interviewed. He just wanted to do his art, have people enjoy it, buy his books so he could afford to live & that's it. He didn't want all that extra sensationalism that came along with it.

I appreciate that he at least was able to share his humor & talent with us for as long as he was able.

His ability to connect a kid with a wild imagination and make it believable was incredible. He also had one of those slightly off senses of humor that just made everything he had Calvin doing funny. I think he must have been inspired by watching a group of boys at play.

Yea I know. I was bummed when He gave up writing it.

I still do not know why he did it. Obviously he was in it for the art not the fame and more or he would of kept going.
