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.
