Sleepwalking? Nightmare? Homicidal psycho jungle cat!
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 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.

The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
Bill Watterson
I played in rock bands in college and then right out of college I moved over to Europe and lived in Ireland for about four years playing in indie rock bands.

Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension.
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
Verbing weirds language.

Look! A trickle of water running through some dirt! I'd say our afternoon just got booked solid!
Bill Watterson
It's gratifying to hear that from people who care about comic art. I never know what to make of it when someone writes to say, Calvin and Hobbes is the best strip in the paper. I like it even more than Nancy.

I know the world isn't fair, but why isn't it ever unfair in my favor?
