	Calvin and Hobbes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bill Watterson is notable for his insistence that cartoon strips should stand on their own as an art form, and he has resisted the use of Calvin and Hobbes in merchandising of any sort.
		Watterson's technique started with minimal pencil sketches (though the larger Sunday strips often required more elaborate work); he then would use a small sable brush and India ink to complete most of the remaining drawing.
		Watterson admits that Calvin and Susie have a bit of a nascent crush on each other, and that Susie is inspired by the type of women Watterson himself finds attractive (which has led to speculation that Susie is based on Watterson's wife).

	A Tribute to Bill Watterson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Bill made us forget the days problems, the errands we had to do, the bills we had to pay; for those few moments it took us to read his daily cartoon strip, we were mesmerized.
		Bill may have done nothing more than do what he loved to do -when he created Calvin and Hobbes- but for all of us he constructed a routine; a regular habit, which we took and clung to.
		Yes, Bill Watterson is someone that made his mark in history (and a positive one at that) and his work will live on in our bookshelves, but most of all.

	An Interview With Bill Watterson
		Watterson: I was born in 1958; we moved to Chagrin when I was 6, sofrom the first grade on, really.
		Watterson: I think United really looks for the marketing more than some of the other syndicates, and they saw Hobbes as having marketing potential, so I don't think that was it.
		Watterson: Yea, well, I think it's really a crass way to go about it--the Saturday morning cartoons do that now, where they develop the toy and then draw the cartoon around it, and the result is the cartoon is a commercial for the toy and the toy is a commercial for the cartoon.

		Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic, about a six-year-old boy and his lively stuffed tiger, got published as a daily newspaper strip in the mid-1980s and became an instant success.
		After a long fight, the licensing-rights were eventually returned to Watterson, which means that every Calvin and Hobbes T-shirt, coffee mug or other gadget that is on the market is illegal (and therefore probably even more coveted).
		Watterson also fought the syndicate on the matter of the strict regulations for the Sunday strip, which were loosened, and on sabbaticals, which has made it easier for cartoonists to take a time-out from their work when they get tired.

		Yet Bill Watterson cruelly stopped drawing “Calvin and Hobbes”; in 1995, only ten years after it began, and well before it started to get old.
		Watterson himself is inconvenienced, the people who read his new “Calvin and Hobbes”; strips will be thrilled to re-enter the magical world of a boy and his tiger.
		The foundation of a democracy is the will of the people, and the people demand “Calvin and Hobbes.”; If Bill Watterson refuses to accept this, we must resort to the power of the law.
