Ever Wished Bill Watterson Would Return to the Comics Page? (2014)

If he returned you’d wonder why he changed. Accept that he left when he wanted to and for the right reasons. You wanting him is not a good inspiration for an artist.

I have all of his books, he was a part of my childhood. I miss his work. He should not come back.

There's a really good documentary on Bill Watterson called "Dear Mr. Watterson". Until recently it was on Amazon Prime but you can still rent it at: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Watterson-Joel-Allen-Schroeder/d...

I saw Bill take out the garbage once! Highlight of living in Chagrin Falls, OH.

Bill used to complain about the space limitations of print media. I wish he would embrace the web nowadays.

Berkeley Breathed came back with Bloom County and it has been great. One of my favorites is his coloboration. https://www.berkeleybreathed.com/store/signed-strips/399-cal...
