More quotes by Bill Watterson
I wasn't having any luck getting accepted anyway and it forced me to re-examine what it was that I really wanted to do. In my experience in political cartooning, I was never one of those people who read the headlines and foams at the mouth with rabid opinion that I've just got to get down on paper.
Bill Watterson
Sleepwalking? Nightmare? Homicidal psycho jungle cat!
Bill Watterson
I think hiccup cures were really invented for the amusement of the patient's friends.
Bill Watterson
Calvin is hammering nails into coffee table. Mom: CALVIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE COFFEE TABLE?!? Calvin: Is this some sort of trick question, or what?
Bill Watterson
I wish I had more friends, but people are such jerks. If you can just get most people to leave you alone, you're doing good. If you can find even one person you really like, you're lucky. And if that person can also stand you, you're really lucky.
Bill Watterson
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!
Bill Watterson
Hey Susie Derkins, is that your face, or is a 'possum stuck in your collar?
Bill Watterson
The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present.
Bill Watterson
Too often cartoonists just look at other cartoonists and, after a lot of inbreeding, everyone has the same funny look. The challenge of drawing is that there is no one right way to visually describe something. It's a good thing to confront your limitations and preconceptions every so often.
Bill Watterson
In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it's very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation.
Bill Watterson
It's psychosomatic. You need a lobotomy. I'll get a saw.
Bill Watterson
When birds burp, it must taste like bugs.
Bill Watterson
People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.
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.
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
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. I love and miss being in a band, I still am in a band but pursuing that as a career I definitely missed it but I felt like that ship had sailed.

Calvin: Dad where do babies come from? Dad: Well Calvin, you simply go to Sears, buy the kit and follow the assembly instructions. Calvin: I came from Sears? Dad: No you were a blue-light special at K-Mart - almost as good and a lot cheaper!
Bill Watterson
Never argue with a six-year-old who shaves.
Bill Watterson
But Calvin is no kind and loving god! He's one of the old gods! He demands sacrifice!

Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.
