Maybe I should try that…
Watterson was/is kind of a jerk. Not necessarily because of this action, but just in general. It’s hard to reconcile the creator of “Calvin & Hobbes”, which had so many philosophical insights, with dickdom, but there it is. If you read his (rare) interviews, it comes out.
Never got to meet him, and I haven’t run across many interviews, but you have to admire his uncompromising devotion to the art form. Plus from a purely cartoonist standpoint, it’s one of the best strips ever done IMHO.
