More quotes by 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
CALVIN: Our hero regains consciousness at the feet of a sarcastic alien.
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
But for my own example, I'd never believe one little kid could have so much brains!
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
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
But Calvin is no kind and loving god! He's one of the old gods! He demands sacrifice!
Bill Watterson
HOBBES: All this modern technology just makes people try to do everything at once.
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
A REAL job is a job you hate.
Bill Watterson
Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension.
Bill Watterson
Look! A trickle of water running through some dirt! I'd say our afternoon just got booked solid!
Bill Watterson
There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.
Bill Watterson
Miss Wormwood: Calvin, your test was an absolute disgrace! It's obvious you haven't read any of the material. Our first president was not Chef Boy-Ar-Dee and you ought to be ashamed to have turned in such preposterous answers! Calvin: I just don't test well.
Bill Watterson
It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.
Bill Watterson
Reality continues to ruin my life.
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
I'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
Bill Watterson
The writing doesn't distract me while I'm drawing and vice versa. I can devote my full attention to each.
Bill Watterson
I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.
