More quotes by 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.
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
Until you stalk and overrun, you cannot devour anyone. -Hobbes
Bill Watterson
Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.
Bill Watterson
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!

Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.
Bill Watterson
Blustery cold days should be spend propped up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a pile of comic books.
Bill Watterson
If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?
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

Bill Watterson
A REAL job is a job you hate.
Bill Watterson
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
Bill Watterson
There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.
Bill Watterson
Girls are like slugs - they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what.
Bill Watterson
Instead of asking what's wrong with rampant consumerism, we ought to be asking, 'What justifies it?' Popular art does not have to pander to the lowest level of intelligence and taste.
Bill Watterson
Look! A trickle of water running through some dirt! I'd say our afternoon just got booked solid!
Bill Watterson
In the right hands, a comic strip attains a beauty and elegance that, really, I would put against any other art.
Bill Watterson
I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal.
Bill Watterson
To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble.
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.
