On the other hand, I can't say it's obviously AI either. It's hard to tell when someone who knows what they're doing may also be doing exactly the same analysis I'm doing here, and cleaning up the tells. If you pick up any illustrated book and stare at it hard enough for AI tells, you'll probably find some.

The fact that Watterson held firm and never licensed his creation, and also stood up to the newspaper conglomerates to ensure C&H got printed adequately is fascinating. I have a lot of respect for him.
