NWFlyer 2 #1 June 9, 2014 This has been making the rounds on FB in the last few days - really cool collaboration between Stefan Pastis, the creator of the Pearls Before Swine comic, and Bill "Calvin & Hobbes" Watterson. Washington Post article that includes interviews with both Pastis and Watterson. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2014/06/06/exclusive-calvin-and-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-returns-to-the-comics-page-to-offer-a-few-pearls-gems/ Pastis' own version of the story: http://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/ever-wished-that-calvin-and-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-would-return-to-the-comics-page-well-he-just-did/ The strips - the setup starts on the 6/2 strip, Watterson draws part of the 6/4 to 6/6 strips, and 6/7 wraps it up with a nice C&H tribute: http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2014/06/02 So freakin' cool. And mind-boggling to believe that it's been 19 years since Calvin & Hobbes went away."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #2 June 10, 2014 Calvin and Hobbes didn't last nearly as long as it should have, but sometimes you just get burned out or run out of ideas. There's only so much you can draw for a family newspaper.

Watching C&H make a slow decline would have been sad."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

That's true. Best Damn Comic strip ever, IMO....

DougH 270 #5 June 10, 2014 Somewhere in a box containing my child hood I have some of the compilation books of all of his strips. I love going through them cover to cover when I was younger."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
