Bill Watterson, creator of beloved 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip looks back with no regrets

This marks the 15th year since "Calvin and Hobbes" said goodbye to the comics pages. Creator Bill Watterson, who grew up in Chagrin Falls and still makes Greater Cleveland his home, recently answered some questions via e-mail from Plain Dealer reporter John Campanelli. It's believed to be the first interview with the reclusive artist since 1989.

What's best about that interview is his snarky comebacks.  Man, those were some terrible questions.

calvin and hobbes will stand the test of time as one of the best comics ever drawn, next to bloom county, in my opinion.  i grew up on watterson's mental capabilities. and didn't he really bring the strip to a close because of the whole debacle when "illegal" likenesses of calvin starting appearing everywhere on truck windows pissing on chevy symbols?  i remember he was so enraged about that.

just as actors can all be connected to kevin bacon, this website tries to prove that you can draw a link between all musicians (may take more than 6 degrees, tho).  for example, you can link fugazi and lady gaga.

Nice.  I think I just accidentally recreated the train song from Risky Business…

"post" nuclear anything is fucking boring after it's been done already a billion times . . . and do we really need to see, hear, be reminded that we could die horribly after our skin is half melted off our bones and mutants are running around eating anything to survive?  but i guess since it will have bleepidy bloop music from trent, it will be ok.
