Heck, what's a little extortion among friends?
Bill Watterson
The problem with people is that they're only human.
Bill Watterson
All the new media will inevitably change the look, function, and maybe even the purpose of comics, but comics are vibrant and versatile, so I think they'll continue to find relevance one way or another. But they definitely won't be the same as what I grew up with.
Bill Watterson
I'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
Bill Watterson
I'm a 21st-century kid trapped in a 19th-century family.
Bill Watterson
I've got plenty of common sense! I just choose to ignore it.
Bill Watterson
CALVIN: Our hero regains consciousness at the feet of a sarcastic alien.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
My guess is that the editor [Cincinnati Post] wanted his own Jeff MacNelly (a Pulitzer winner at 24), and I didn't live up to his expectations. My Cincinnati days were pretty Kafkaesque.
Bill Watterson
You know, maybe we don't need enemies. Yeah, best friends aree about all I can take.
Bill Watterson
I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.
Bill Watterson
If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.
Bill Watterson
Once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is.
Bill Watterson
They can't chain my spirit! My spirit runs free! Walls can't contain it! Laws can't restrain it! Authority has no power over it!
Bill Watterson
Reading those turgid philosophers here in these remote stone buildings may not get you a job, but if those books have forced you to ask yourself questions about what makes life truthful, purposeful, meaningful, and redeeming, you have the Swiss Army Knife of mental tools, and it's going to come in handy all the time.
Bill Watterson
They say the secret of success is being at the right place at the right time, but since you never know when the right time is going to be, I figure the trick is to find the right place and just hang around.
Bill Watterson
The more words you have at your disposal, the more precisely you can express yourself.
Bill Watterson
You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a graphic novel, but comic books are still incredibly stupid.
Bill Watterson
Oh look, yet another Christmas TV special! How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer... Who'd have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?
Bill Watterson
I've never sat down to quantify how many hours I actually spend on the strip. I use the deadlines to estimate my progress each month I know that I have to produce so many strips, and by the end of the month I'll make sure that I have.
