More quotes by Bill Watterson
Too often cartoonists just look at other cartoonists and, after a lot of inbreeding, everyone has the same funny look. The challenge of drawing is that there is no one right way to visually describe something. It's a good thing to confront your limitations and preconceptions every so often.
Bill Watterson
A REAL job is a job you hate.

You know, maybe we don't need enemies. Yeah, best friends aree about all I can take.

It must be hard to cook if you anthropomorphisize your vegetables.

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.

I'd hate to have a kid like me.
Bill Watterson
You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D's in school. Well guess what, I get F's!!!

I always think of Popeye and Barney Google as quintessential comic strips in that old rollicky, slapstick way we've sort of lost.
Bill Watterson
The problem with people is that they're only human.
Bill Watterson
I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.
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
For me, it's been liberating to put myself in the mind of a fictitious six year-old each day, and rediscover my own curiosity. I've been amazed at how one idea leads to others if I allow my mind to play and wander.
Bill Watterson
Well, coming at a new work requires a certain amount of patience and energy, and there’s always the risk of disappointment. You can’t really blame people for preferring more of what they already know and like. The trade-off, of course, is that predictability is boring. Repetition is the death of magic.
Bill Watterson
I was reading about how countless species are being pushed toward extinction by man's destruction of forests. . . . Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
Bill Watterson
If you don't get a goodnight kiss, you get Kafka dreams.
Bill Watterson
You can drag my body to school but my spirit refuses to go.
Bill Watterson
I'd like to see cartoonists measuring their work by higher standards than how many papers their strips are in and how much money they make.
