Bill Waterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, recent gave an interview to a reporter. It’s not much of an interview, but it shows how idiosyncratic Watterson is.
What I admire about Watterson is that he did everything on his own terms. He didn’t want his art to be made into toys and that’s why there never was any Calvin and Hobbes toys and he quit the cartoon because he wanted to quit while he was still good. There’s something to be admired about that.
