Ha! That silly mutt!

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Why must he tease us so.

 

[Acorn]

Seems to be coming out of his shell a little. There was that web comic a few months go too. Cool

 

[sixteen-bit]

At least he got the comics in the end

 

[echoshifting]

All smiles here. Good to have you back Bill....stick around man. Pls.

 

[Deft Beck]

I'm glad to see him do more work that can be seen by the public.

 

[maruchan]

Reminds me of this pbf comic

 

[Warm Machine]

He seems to be getting even better with age.

I got my hardcover Complete Calvin and Hobbes in the mail today! I'm so excited to read it. Watterson is a genius.

 

[MisterHero]

Lovely comic.

I started reading Pearls Before Swine in a newspaper recently. It would've been a great surprise if I'd seen his work in print first.

I never noticed the cat's tail could be interpreted as ...

The comic itself is pretty unremarkable, but god damn is it nice to see nonetheless.

Respectfully disagree. It's miles more emotive than anything out there right now without even a line of dialog.

For no longer being a comic artist, he sure makes it seem like his life still revolves around newspaper comics.

Bill Watterson, Berkeley Breathed, and Gary Larson... the architects of my sense of humor.

Or...has always done so. And continues to. It's obviously an art form he loves.

He was commissioned to do this piece specifically for a comics festival.

Should he have drawn something that has nothing to do with the comics he's most familiar with and the artform he's best known for?

What a weird comment.

I guess. I feel like that much is expected from Watterson though. Would've been more notable if it wasn't up to par for him.

Just glad to see more from him.

I miss him. =(

100% agreed! I love that he's popped up a few times this year, here and there.

I think I said this last Watterson threadwatch, but:

Come back, Bill! Do a web comic! Write a novel! Make something! Please!

 

[PseudoKirby]

So thats an older Calvin?

 

[PurpleMoustache]

This is the 3rd new thing by him (this year? I may be getting timing wrong). If he's coming out of his shell like this, here's hoping this leads to a new strip or a graphic novel epic he's been working on for all these years.

[JNA]

Why doesn't he go back to Calvin and Hobbes? I thought he ended it because he didn't want to draw new comics anymore.

 

[The Real Abed]

The day a brand new Calvin and Hobbes comic ever came out would be the day NeoGAF explodes.

That is absolutely perfect.

To think I lived in the days where we got new Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side all the time.

 

[The Real Abed]

To think I lived in the days where we got new Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side all the time.

So did I. I had Far Side calendars. I'm sad I never really got into Calvin and Hobbes. I should buy that book with all the comics and just read through the entire thing.
