Though there are a few decent strips out there today, none has ever compared with Watterson's offering.<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit disappointed in him though. When he announced his retirement, I distinctly remember that he was stopping C&H only because he felt that he had done all he could with it and wanted to step it up with other projects.<BR/><BR/>To date, I don't see any other projects coming from him. Regardless I thank him for the many wonderful memories. I still have the original cutout of his last strip hanging in my room.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506840496020245752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10746170.post-1131080295098904852005-11-03T23:58:00.000-05:002005-11-03T23:58:00.000-05:00I too am a huge Calvin and Hobbes fan, but I think...I too am a huge <I>Calvin and Hobbes</I> fan, but I think if Bill Watterson wants to be alone, then we, the public, should not stalk him. Dave, it's great that you know where he lives, but also a little creepy.Geneffectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076252610090926856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10746170.post-1131063956602098202005-11-03T19:25:00.000-05:002005-11-03T19:25:00.000-05:00Dave:Yes, the little ditty about Chargin Falls bei...Dave:<BR/><BR/>Yes, the little ditty about Chargin Falls being trashed by Calvin is mentioned near the end of the cast. <BR/><BR/> I live about 45 minutes away from "The Falls" so it's not really in my backyard. But it is a beautiful town and it holds a special place in my heart now.<BR/><BR/>What is the coolest about the entire podcast that I didn't really mention is that I just woke up yesterday thinking "I'm going to do a segment for the show about Calvin and Hobbes." I never expected I would get anything more than just some locals chatting about not really knowing him. So it was a very pleasant surprise to actually get to talk to his mother.<BR/><BR/>She is a charming woman. And I feel incredibly honored to have been able to chat with her.Lenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303146799417749326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10746170.post-1131063636285846462005-11-03T19:20:00.000-05:002005-11-03T19:20:00.000-05:00Wow...I think it would be a fantastic opportunity ...Wow...I think it would be a fantastic opportunity to visit the birtplace of Watterson's genius. I bet if you ran through the hills and forests you would find images you could lift up and put side by side with the world of Calvin and Hobbes. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes, got a new book every birthday, and spent hours on my own adventures in the backyard, on the sled and in my little red cart. Your interview brought back a lot of fond memories. Thank you.Naimulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516680157031695462noreply@blogger.com
