The economic meltdown and corporate shenanigans as foretold by the writer of
Calvin and Hobbes nearly fifteen years ago. Watterson was a
unique talent, critics hailed his artistry and fans of all ages loved the strip. He stands out not only for the success of
Calvin and Hobbes, but also for his decision not to license or animate the strip. A Saturday morning cartoon, dolls, lunchboxes; Watterson could have made loads of cash. Instead he stood steadfast in his belief that commercializing his charachters would
undermine his message. The sad part of the
Calvin and Hobbes story is the rampant copyright infringement of Calvin in the form of pissing deviant.
Lifted from a frame in which Calvin is filling up a water balloon while looking out for Hobbes, it has now become
annoying. Come out of retirement Mr. Watterson, the
newspapers need you.
