Dear Mr. Watterson - Calvin & Hobbes Documentary

[tschommer]

I'm a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes and the enigmatic Mr. Watterson so I'm looking forward to seeing this.

When it comes to comics, Calvin & Hobbes and Peanuts are about all you need.

God I love Calvin and Hobbes. Really influenced me as a younger kid, and I still love reading them now.

That documentary played at the Cleveland Film Festival earlier this year. I missed it and was totally bummed out. I am psyched that it is going to play here soon. Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County were the best.

Watterson and Larson, two who quit in their prime. Sad but I get why they did it.

Pogo, Calvin & Hobbes and for the modern day white collar scene Dilbert. Classics, all of them.

I Go Pogo!

Calvin and Hobbes was most excellent, too. And Bloom County. I still have the Bill the Cat record around here somewhere.

Calvin & Hobbes is my favorite comic strip. the concept and characters were fully realized and in place from day one. the writing and the art never faltered, Watterson left on his own terms and never sold out.

owning a copy of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes is owning a masterpiece.

Calvin and Hobbs, Bloom County, Peanuts. All favs and reread many times over.

Would that be Billy and the Boingers?

Mutts is a great comic strip also.

C&H fanatic here. Watterson set the standard so high, he kind of ruined the whole industry. I can't even read the strips now. Nothing else can compare, nearly 20 years after C&H ended.

Watterson was the college newspaper's cartoonist at Kenyon College in the late 70s when I was there. Truth be told, I never thought he was really very good back then, but he found his voice with C+H, shall we say!

My 14 yr old son wasn't born when Larson and Watterson quit.
But they just wreck him - and not much does.
You can learn about a person by the comic they choose to show you from the Farside collection they are reading in the back seat.

My current favorite comic strip is Pearls Before Swine. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

We have a couple of his books - but he isn't as consistent in the paper.

the real Hobbes would've leaped out and tackled the grown up Calvin.

I love C&H but also loved Larson's Far Side.
