Watterson is really interesting. Some of his C&H collection books have short essays, and some have original poetry--"Nauseous Nocturne" is great--and of course he wrote all of the strip's dialogs. He's certainly a good writer.

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.

It could be his name is being used, but he's famous for not going commercial, so I suspect there's more to the story.
