Incredible Interview and Commentary by Watterson (originally posted at jdouglassanders.blogspot.com)I have had Exploring Calvin and Hobbes: An Exhibition Catalogue on preorder ever since I first heard about it. It arrived on the release day, Tuesday, March 10 (thanks Amazon Prime!) and, of course, I read it immediately! It is a pretty quick read, but, for me anyway, this will be a book I will end up rereading and using more in the l. Mike Mertens said Calvin, Comics and Excellence - a feast for both the eyes and the mind. This is a wonderful work for anyone interested in exploring Calvin and Hobbes. The Interview at the start of the book is worth the price of the book alone. It covers a lot of interesting topics in a very thoughtful way. Here are a few areas that I really enjoyed:* the role of failure (from his initial work doing editorial cartoons)* voice (especially for Calvin) and how the characters wrote their own. Let's go exploring! It's never too late to get in touch with your inner whimsy. My mother used to clip and save strips and say, "Remember when you used to do this (or something similar)?". Calvin and Hobbes was my daily burst of sunlight. I often wondered where Mr. Watterson got his inspirations and this book never let me down. I am as ever a fan of Calvin and Hobbes as I was 30 years ago and I still re-read the strips.
"America's Most Profound Comic Strip" (Christopher Caldwell, The Wall Street Journal)"Bill Watterson talks: This is why you must read the new ‘Exploring Calvin and Hobbes’ book For any true fan of cartooning, it is a must-read, a must-buy, a must-pick-up "Bill Watterson has delivered a gift, a trip down memory lane that is populated densely on each side with personal and professional insights — some grippingly specific, some that ring universal, many that resonate as both." (Michael Cavna, The Washington Post)
