In reply to the discussion: 24 Years Ago Today; Bill Watterson publishes the last Calvin and Hobbes comic strip [View all]Ninga
(8,266 posts)15. I can only say this. Watterson is hunkered down into his reclusive self. He does not care that
once artists (of any kind) capture the hearts of the public sometimes they need to be more gracious than they feel. Not so Watterson, he not only never got it, he never respected it.
About 15 years ago or so, occasionally I would pass him and his wife pushing a stroller up the street. I would nod hello, never more than that, as I would acknowledge any other person walking up the street.
I heard he moved because too many people tried to talk to him in the coffee shop or grocery store.
