Bill Watterson interview
 

Thanks for pointing this out. I can't believe it's been 15 years. I remember so well when Watterson announced he was stopping. A lot of grieving around my house.

Have you ever read Watterson's commencement speech at Kenyon?

I have two feelings about Watterson:

That he is to be commended for fearlessly pursuing what interests him.

And also that he is a narcissistic schmuck living off royalties, making crap paintings, and not contributing to the greater good.

At least Berkeley Breathed is writing kids books.

I find it a bit sad that what I consider a modern golden age of comics (Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side, and Bloom County) is passed, with the artists now completely out of comics. That just tells you that it has be grueling.
