6/30/2023 0 Comments Calvin and hobbes cartoonist![]() In March, an exhibition of his work, Exploring Calvin and Hobbes, went on display at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at Ohio State University.Īll this activity is somewhat startling for most longtime fans, since Watterson became the JD Salinger of cartooning after he ended Calvin and Hobbes in 1995. Watterson drew a poster for the comic strip documentary Stripped – he also granted producers an audio interview – and he served as a guest artist on Stephan Pastis’ strip, Pearls Before Swine. This poster caps off a relatively busy year for the once MIA cartoonist. Rather, the man’s sausage-like nose and the way he stalks through the action recalls one of Watterson’s biggest influences: George Herriman’s character Krazy Kat. The dialogue-free artwork doesn’t look like an extension of Calvin and Hobbes’ world. For many fans, it’s enough that Watterson created the strip, which follows a balding, bath-robed newspaper subscriber – yes, they still exist – who just wants to read the funny pages. ![]()
