More quotes by Bill Watterson
I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.
Bill Watterson
I still read newspaper comics, but without much hope for their future.
Bill Watterson
The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.
Bill Watterson
Miss Wormwood: Calvin, your test was an absolute disgrace! It's obvious you haven't read any of the material. Our first president was not Chef Boy-Ar-Dee and you ought to be ashamed to have turned in such preposterous answers! Calvin: I just don't test well.
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
Every artist learns through imitation, but I rather doubt the aim of these things is artistic development. I assume they're either homages or satiric riffs, and are not intended to be taken too seriously as works in their own right. Otherwise I should be talking to a copyright lawyer.
Bill Watterson
I'M SIGNIFICANT!!! ... Say's the dust speck.
Bill Watterson
My whole problem is that my lips move when I think.
Bill Watterson
I like my smock. You can tell the quality of the artist by the quality of his smock. Actually, I just like to say smock. Smock smock smock smock smock smock.
Bill Watterson
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!
Bill Watterson
Calvin:It says here that 'religion is the opiate of the masses.'...what do you suppose that means? Television: ...it means that Karl Marx hadn't seen anything yet
Bill Watterson
Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.
Bill Watterson
Well, remember what you said, because in a day or two, I'll have a witty and blistering retort! You'll be devastated THEN
Bill Watterson
Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
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
As Calvin and Hobbes went on, the writing pushed the drawings into greater complexity. One of the jokes I really like is that the fantasies are drawn more realistically than reality, since that says a lot about what's going on in Calvin's head.
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've always been a huge fan of fantasy and adventure, putting yourself in someone else's shoes, I'm sure that's why I'm an actor. It's why I played with action figures as a kid, that's why I wrote and drew and read comics as a kid.
Bill Watterson
In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive.
Bill Watterson
Form follows function, as the architects say. With words and pictures, you can do just about anything.
