Someday somebody is going to make a movie called Searching for Bill Watterson, and it will be cool.

Or maybe it would be cool to respect and revere a cherished author by leaving him the hell alone.

After the movie is done of course.

Wait, really?

I want to watch this.

 

[numble]

Ok, guess it's not done yet. I could've sworn there was some fan made thing where they went to his hometown and everything--might be a book/article.

 

[judhudson]

This thread made me cry a little on the inside.

I miss C&H...

 

[GDGF]

Yeah, I saw that something is in the works called Dear Mr. Watterson. Looks like it could be pretty groovy actually.

Here is the book I was referring to, much closer to your original idea than that movie: http://www.amazon.com/dp/082642984X/?tag=neogaf0e-20

That book is going to be bought immediatly.

 

[Zod the Bear]

Why. Why with the thread title. Why would this happen.

 

[necron99]

BAN HIM,
Never have I been so crushed by a "cleaver" thread title tease.
I feel like crying now.. thanks
I hate you soo much.

I really do hate you.

*Sadface

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

It's a misleading thread title, but I'm not particularly sure I'd want Calvin and Hobbes to come back in any significant form.

I mean, then way the strip ended was simply perfect, and for me it is still more amusing and charming than anything else out there. Watterson let it come to a natural close, no need to change that.

 

[GDGF]

Last Halloween I wore a sombrero in honor of this strip.

 

[GK86]

Tricked...like so many in this thread. I didn't know about the complete collection. So something good came out of this thread.

 

[Zeliard]

As if the thread title wasn't depressing enough, now people are posting C&H strips?

Sigh.

Here you go, pricks:

How do those tears taste?

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I knew what the OP was before clicking on the thread so I wasn't all that disappointed. I think in rankings of all time comic strips, I would say:

1. Peanuts
2. The Far Side
3. Calvin and Hobbes
4. Bloom County
5. Life in Hell
6. Perry Bible Fellowship
7. Red Meat
8. Doonesbury
9. Zippy the Pinhead
10. Boondocks

 

[Alex]

I think I'm the only person who just didn't really care for Peanuts.

Yeah posting that is 100x worse than my tease thread title.

 

[Neuromancer]

Misleading topic titles that break peoples hearts should be bannable offenses.

 

[Count Dookkake]

My favorite bit of C&H 'merchandise' is the decal with Calvin kneeling before the cross.

What better way to honor Christ than by stealing?

That's fake though, right?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

This one isn't so cold-hearted.

 

[Zeliard]

If Watterson didn't make them, they are sacrilegious.

 

[WEGGLES]

You made me sad.

[peacebyanymeans]

Calvin and Hobbes Is Back

AWESOM- Wait, what's this..?

... In Stamp form

 

[WillyFive]

May your future be riddled with misfortune.

 

[deadbeef]

Yes just a stupid Internet person being stupid.

The person who drew it not posted it.

 

[mightynine]

 

[Trailblaster]

Oh fuck off.

Just appreciate it for what it is.

If Schulz can keep Peanuts from getting fucked, does your retarded ass really believe Watterson will let someone fuck up his creation after he's dead and gone? Think again bucko.

Oh please stop being naive and grow the fuck up. its a comic strip not the Holy grail.

Watterson has made is view on licencing Cavil and Hobbes quite clear but if you think there wont be people lining up to throw buckets of money at his family when he pass on your the retard here. He'll be just like many other artist family members that well whore out his name and talent for money.

I'm looking at you Asimovs and the Roddenberry's

 

[Pseudo_Sam]

Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and Garfield will forever be my favorites.

One of those is not like the others...

 

[Jangaroo]

You asshole

 

[Beer Monkey]

Fucking cunt. The whole fucking comics page is a cesspool these days and you got me excited.

 

[avatar299]

This one isn't so cold-hearted.

Whenever I see this and the other "ending"

Spoiler

not the medicine pills one. i hate that fucking strip

I choke up. It's kinda strange.

 

[Tathanen]

;_;

 

[sciplore]

My heart kinda skipped a beat there, thought it would just be for a special comic "best of x year" reprint since he stated so many times why he quit the industry in the first place.

And fuck if there is not a lot of Calvin and Hobbes avatars on here, think its time for my lazy ass to get another avatar :lol.

 

[H_Prestige]

I miss coming home from school on rainy days and reading Calvin and Hobbes all night.

 

[Monroeski]

First thing I thought on seeing the title was "can't wait to see what BS this guy is lying about in his thread title." :lol

 

[ChazAshley]

In the back of my mind I KNEW this was too good to be true. but i wanted to BELIEVEEEEEEEEEEE.


btw, are there any pics of watterson at all?

[GDGF]

When I was a kid I always imagined Bill Watterson was an old timey elderly grandfather type person. Wasn't until a decade or so ago that I realized he started Calvin and Hobbes when he was just 27.

btw, are there any pics of watterson at all?

Yeah, he looks just like Calvin's dad.

This one's real??

 

[Zeliard]

Has Watterson ever opined on that ritalin strip? It's fairly poignant and I'd imagine it's one of the very few non-Watterson-produced C&H pieces of material that he might have actually liked.

 

[ChazAshley]

That is freaking awesome. thanks.

Don't think so. He's incredibly reclusive so I suppose the opportunity has never arrived for somebody to ask him that. On a side note, do people here really want a continuation of the series? When I think about it hard enough, the series ended on a perfect note.

 

[Thagomizer]

AWESOM- Wait, what's this..?

This interview is literally the funniest thing I have ever seen on television.

 

[jdogmoney]

This one's real??

Of course not.

Also, OP?

You played me, and it hurt.

Spoiler

I did a double take and had a hopeful, "no, no this can't--SON OF A BITCH"-type reaction...

 

[weekend_warrior]

Did I ever tell anyone I had a stuffed tiger as a kid? I would take it around with me. I was fucked up

I didn't just have a stuffed tiger ( I had 5 or 6), I had a stuffed Hobbes tiger. And it's the only one I kept ( I'm 25).

 

[Anth0ny]

First thing I thought of :lol

 

[Zeliard]

Anyone have a link to it?
