Publicity shy Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, will have a movie made about him. This documentary will explore the world of Calvin and Hobbes and the seclusive artist, but the film will be void of Bill, the film will focus on the effect the strip had on people. This should be an exciting project. Dear Mr. Watterson is the title of the movie, and should quench the thirst of his many fans.
Calvin & Hobbes dominated the Sunday comics in thousands of newspapers for over 10 years, having a profound effect on millions of readers across the globe. When the strip’s creator, Bill Watterson, retired the strip on New Year’s Eve in 1995, devoted readers everywhere felt the void left by the departure of Calvin, Hobbes, and Watterson’s other cast of characters, and many fans would never find a satisfactory replacement.
It has now been more than a decade since the end of the Calvin & Hobbes era. Bill Watterson has kept an extremely low profile during this time, living a very private life outside of Cleveland, Ohio. Despite his purposeful reclusion, Mr. Watterson is remembered and appreciated daily by fans who still enjoy his amazing collection of work.
