Calvin the zombie searches for food. Horribly, the undead feed upon the living! ...Although, in a pinch, a PBJ will do, if you eat it messily enough.
Bill Watterson
The secret to enjoying your job is to have a hobby that's even worse
Bill Watterson
You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens.
Bill Watterson
As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I don't even like riding in elevators.
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
It seems the less I do and say, the better everyone likes my work!
Bill Watterson
I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.
Bill Watterson
It must be hard to cook if you anthropomorphisize your vegetables.
Bill Watterson
Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles.
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
You are demoted from First Tiger to bulk rate.
Bill Watterson
If you can't win by reason, go for volume.
Bill Watterson
If people looked at the stars each night, they'd live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.
Bill Watterson
For no reason I can think of, I've wandered far astray. And that is how I got to where I find myself today.
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
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'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
Bill Watterson
I chose to tell the story visually, so that anyone of any age, from any country, could understand it.
Bill Watterson
Everybody I know fails the acid test of friendship.
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.
