  1. Bill Watterson is the reason I decided to pursue art, and specifically cartooning, as a career. Not quite there yet… but hopefully one day. 🙂

    Oh, and Alan… it should be “the effect” not “the affect.” 🙂

  2. Nice to see Berke Breathed there. This looks great by the way!

  3. Yeah…as sweet, innocent and iconic as C&H was, I can’t say it was my favorite strip ever.

    Maybe I could do a “dearmrbreathed” documentary.
    Nah…too derivative, like my strip.

    Ok, how about a “www.curseyoujimdavisand your insipidcreation.com” site?

    or “www.ohpleasegawdstopalltheickysexyteentitillationMrEvans.net”?

    or “www.ImsodepressedIwannakillmyselfnowbecauseofyourstripMrBatiuk.org”

    Just spitballing….

  4. wow looking forward to seeing a documentary on bill watterson. he was a true master of the craft of cartooning.
