Allright, guys, i KNOW all of us are comic fans, and i stumbled onto this over at one of my other websites.  It is a VERY rare interview done through e-mail with bill watterson, on the 15th anniversary of the ending of the Calvin and Hobbes comic.  You heard me right FIFTEENTH.  I feel rather old now, so lets all enjoy our nostalgia, and post memories of this comic, hrm?


OF all the comics I read, C&H was my alltime favorite.  With it, i laughed until my sides were sore, and I've COMPLETELY worn out SEVERAL of the comic books.  It is one of the fondest memories of my child hood, and it has never been replaced.  I was pissed when it ended, well, bummed, really.  I was 12, so I really had no idea what i was truly losing. And now that i look back, I realized that you have ended your print run, but the comic itself never truly ended. It exists on with the fans who made the strip what it was.  I can go look back through each of the strips, as an adult, and get something new that i've NEVER gotten as a child.  Thank you, Mr. Watterson.

Oh man, the memories. I still have several of my copies of Calvin and Hobbes.

Personally, my favorites had to be the ones involving snow sculptures and oddities that happen for no reason whenever he attempts to do some homework.

In the case of the sculptures, I wanted to make a few of them if it ever snowed enough to make something in (of course, after moving to Florida, that's near-impossible).

Also Calvin and Hobbes rox.

I used to think it was called Calvin and Hobbies.

I thought the 15th anniversary was a month ago...

Oh God I love Calvin and Hobbes so much.

SO MUCH.

Your fan badge is hereby revoked.

[SimRobert2001]

oh? and what for?
for realizing that the constant teasing and arguing is how two kids who like each other react to one another?

[Footkerchief]

No, that's obvious.  It's because... Calvin and Hobbes fanart?  Really?

Thanks for the heads up on the interview, though.  That was interesting.

[SimRobert2001]

hey, i didnt' draw it. 
besides, how else are they going to live on?

[Cthulhu]

Not to mention it's mango fanart.  Shameful, really.

Owns most of the anthologies. One of these days I'll shell out for the complete leather-bound edition.

I got a little sick of it after a while. It was great a long time ago, but now it's like those cartoons I've watched too much, like Peanuts, Rugrats, Garfield. Not that it's bad but, I feel like I just want to see the season finale and leave that in my memories. I never really liked that final strip.
