The Cleveland Plain Dealer recently got a Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbes, to answer a couple questions by email on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the comic strip ending. It's believed to be the only Watterson interview since 1989, as Watterson has turned into the J.D. Salinger of the comic world. I've now got a new goal. See below and click through for examples of the wit that made Calvin & Hobbes a favorite.

How soon after the U.S. Postal Service issues the Calvin stamp will you send a letter with one on the envelope?

Immediately. I'm going to get in my horse and buggy and snail-mail a check for my newspaper subscription.

If you were curious about Charlie Brown's composite baseball statistics Wezen-Ball has calculated them for you. They've taken the time to go through 2 decades of Peanuts comics to provide a detailed analysis of the 60s and 70s. It's glorious and compulsive documentation. I approve.V

Both of these moves were awful, and I'm offended Marvel hasn't put any effort into their best character. Also, I don't think having these movies made means they can't; there could always be a Hulk-style do over. War Zone was better, and I have no idea what John Travolta or Dominic West were doing near either of these projects.

diesel sweeties is right on with these.
