Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
Bill Watterson
It's only work if somebody makes you do it.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
I think comics overall would be better. I think there's a tremendous potential to be tapped.
Bill Watterson
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
Art has to keep moving and discovering to stay alive.
Bill Watterson
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Life is full of surprises, but never when you need one.
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.
