More quotes by Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
Even when you look for it, you're never prepared for it.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
I don't enjoy lettering very much, but that's the way I write and that belongs in the strip because the strip is a reflection of me.
Bill Watterson
Obviously the great thing about this job is the complete freedom of the schedule. So long as I meet the deadline, they don't care when I work or how I work.
Bill Watterson
I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.
Bill Watterson
I'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
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
Every time I've built character, I've regretted it.
