The Plain Dealer has a short interview with Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin & Hobbes. The strip ended fifteen years ago (seriously? 15 years?) and Miss Mussel still misses it.
“I just tried to write honestly, and I tried to make this little world fun to look at, so people would take the time to read it. That was the full extent of my concern. You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens. I can’t explain why the strip caught on the way it did, and I don’t think I could ever duplicate it. A lot of things have to go right all at once.”
Here’s a compilation of someone’s 25 best strips and, for the superfan, a portal to an afternoon well wasted.
