Dear Mr. Watterson

00:00:47 -A comic strip, to me, is a story

00:04:37 I really can't think of anything else from my childhood

00:07:49 And very much in the imagination of this kid

00:11:20 There's a little bit of commentary about society.

00:14:52 -And the time-machine parts.

00:18:28 What was that like?

00:22:11 -There you go.

00:25:38 Over what you'd done previously.

00:28:55 But he's me.

00:32:50 One of his drawings

00:36:17 -Bill watterson saved almost all of the original art

00:39:53 Watterson's originals are probably worth

00:43:27 I don't think anybody would look at "calvin and hobbes"

00:47:26 And he felt trying to configure it

00:50:43 I have to forge my own path.

00:54:17 Like, percy crosby had licensed "skippy,"

00:57:29 And it didn't sell well.

01:01:18 Just for ourselves.

01:04:40 They love him as a writer. They respect him as an artist.

01:09:33 And probably somewhere in the mid '90s.

01:13:26 To the point that kids today coming up are still reading it.

01:17:10 With probably the two or three or four greatest strips

01:21:16 -The way he handled it was so wonderful
