	<title>"Calvin and Hobbes" Creator Bill Watterson Looks Back With No Regrets</title>
	<author>ScuttleMonkey</author>
	<datestamp>1265018520000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>With fifteen years separating us from the last appearance of "Calvin and Hobbes" on the comic pages, reclusive artist Bill Watterson gave a <a href="http://www.cleveland.com/living/index.ssf/2010/02/bill\_watterson\_creator\_of\_belo.html">rare interview</a> reminiscing about his legacy.  <i>"The only part I understand is what went into the creation of the strip. What readers take away from it is up to them. Once the strip is published, readers bring their own experiences to it, and the work takes on a life of its own. Everyone responds differently to different parts.  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."</i></htmltext>

<tokenext>It 's always better to leave the party early .
If I had rolled along with the strip 's popularity and repeated myself for another five , 10 or 20 years , the people now " grieving " for " Calvin and Hobbes " would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious , ancient strips like mine instead of acquiring fresher , livelier talent .
And I 'd be agreeing with them.I think some of the reason " Calvin and Hobbes " still finds an audience today is because I chose not to run the wheels off it .

	<htmltext>There have been a handful of geniuses, who've happened to work in the comic strip field.  George Herriman, Walt Kelly, Berkeley Breathed, Garry Trudeau, Maurice Dodd and Dennis Collins, and Bill Watterson.  Why such a small number?  Because true genius is rare and special, whatever field the artist is working in.
<br> <br>
I don't count Gary Larson in the same field - he was quirky and brilliant, but there's no continuity in his works - there's 5,000 individual gags, but no heart, nobody there we care about.  I also don't count Charles Schulz - Peanuts is simply the nastiest strip ever written.  It's cold, and bleak, without an ounce of love or sweetness about it.  Nothing good ever happens to anybody - it's existentialist horror.
<br> <br>
Calvin's world wasn't perfect - Moe was a bully, school was appalling, and things sometimes went wrong.  There was fear and loss from time to time, and nobody else ever saw the world quite the way he saw it.  But there's magic there, and adventure, and love in a variety of flavours.  They are books I could sit and read with my child when he was Calvin's age and younger, because they are good art, excellent stories and a total blast for the imagination.  The Sunday strip poems often featured wonderfully whimsical language and the wordplay in the strip itself was second only to The Perishers.
<br> <br>
I'm delighted that Bill Watterson stopped when he thought he was done.  Delighted he chose not to let MegaCorp plc rape his creations, and slap them on underpants, lunchboxes and disposable cups from the burger joint.  Delighted that Calvin and Hobbes didn't get shoe-horned into some Moral of the Week shitty TV show, with a cute catchphrase, and cheap-as-chips animation.  What he created is art, and it's a minor miracle that he managed to resist the dollar signs, and what must have been startling numbers of zeroes after them, in order to keep the tale of a boy and his tiger real and magical.
<br> <br>
If he ever comes up with another story he really wants to tell, I have no doubt he will.</htmltext>

&nbsp; <br>Depends on how you look at it. Charlie Brown is really the only character for whom life is truly bleak, yet he is also the most hopeful. No matter how many times he gets his socks knocked off at the pitcher's mound, no matter how many times his team loses, no matter how many times Lucy yanks the football (honestly not very often if you read the entirety of the strip), Charlie Brown gets up, dusts himself off, and goes back for more, because he truly believes that this time it might get better.

	<htmltext>There's an unauthorized play with the Peanuts characters called "Dog sees God" that does rather a lot with the theme of Charlie Brown's hopefulness.  Some of it's just for shock value (Linus has become a stoner, Pigpen develops a nasty mean streak), but the show is worth it for the ending, where CB's hopefulness is, after sixteen or seventeen years of repeated disappointment, vindicated just a tiny bit.</htmltext>

Yes, sequels are instant money makers, because we all want to read/see MORE from a good writer, but the truth is if you have said all you had to say, then there is no more.

	<title>Garfield Had It's Place</title>

	<htmltext>A lot of people, rightly so, hate what Jim Davis has done or allowed to happen to Garfield. But it too was once a great comic strip - if you were 10. Those of us who grew up in the 70's were lucky as we had two new comic strips that fit our age perfectly. We got Garfield before we were teens and C&amp;H when we were teens, old enough to look back on our recent childhood and see parallels as well as possibly learn some life lessons to us in upcoming adulthood.

C&amp;H is the best strip IMHO - hands down. It appealed to me as a teenager and also an adult. But the early Garfield strips are also timeless.

When I was growing up, I loved Garfield - read it religiously in the paper. Every Christmas my mom had a standing present - whatever Garfield collections that had been published that year. I think I have 1-30. A while back while sorting through my old things, I found them and put them where my kids could read them. They read them cover to cover, multiple times. My eldest, now barely a teenager has moved on, and checks out C&amp;H books from the library (since I can't find my entire collection - it's in my old stuff somewhere) But the youngest, just learning to read, is having fun reading about the big 'fat cat' and lasagna. Those old books are worn, in cases shredded held together with tape, but adored by my four kids. I'm sure C&amp;H will be too.

So while I agree that Garfield today is a mere shell of it's old self. There was a time it was worth reading as a kid and even an adult.</htmltext>
