Bill Watterson is working on a new book.

Please, God, don’t let it suck: “Bill Watterson, the genius behind the beloved comic strip, is back in the publishing world after years of staying low and he’s teaming up with caricature artist John Kascht to bring us a “fable for grown-ups” called The Mysteries.” It comes out in October.

…I don’t really need to say much more, do I? It’s happening, I have pre-ordered it, and I face this news with perfectly-balanced eagerness, and dread.

Tweet of the Day, Oh Wow A Bill Watterson Interview! edition.

Some day I’d like to find out if there was anything more than a Meh. I’m well out of it behind Watterson’s post-Calvin and Hobbes retreat from the world. Doubt I ever will, though.

 

Bill Watterson Vintage Political Cartoon.

Yes. The Bill Watterson. This is from a collection of his rarer cartoons (via GeekPress). I suspect that he was upset about the message found in this particular cartoon of Reagan, Ted Kennedy, and Carter…

…but the creator of Calvin & Hobbes can be forgiven much. Besides, Bill hit this one right on the head…

Open thread.
