    SO glad they haven’t actually made a Calvin & Hobbes movie (yet). There’s no way one could ever live up to the magic. This post scared me for a minute…

      Back when he was just wrapping up C&H, he published a book (I forget the name) where he talks about his experiences, his favorite strips, etc.

      He has often mentioned licensing and how he had resisted animated series because he knew they were going to kill the magic that is C&H. One of his biggest regrets was licensing the rights to the Calvin pissing on the FORD logo (or was it Chevy? I forget). Because that was in poor taste and now it’s everywhere.

      I’m honestly shocked that he’s agreed to an animated movie, I figured he must have passed away and his estate was milking the C&H for more royalties haha.

        He hasn’t agreed to make an animated movie, it will happen literally over his dead body and the Calvin pissing image is not an approved image. He regretted not doing more to sue the copyright infringers.

          Dang, wasn’t aware of that with the animated movie.

          and the Calvin pissing image is not an approved image. He regretted not doing more to sue the copyright infringers.

          Pretty sure I read that he licensed one of the graphics with calvin pissing, but he never intended for people to copy the design and alter the graphic used in the artwork. Now I’m trying to dig through my old C&H books to find where he mentions it lol.

    This artwork is gorgeous! All the bright colours make me feel nice and fuzzy. Not sure if making an animated movie for C&H is the best move though, IIRC Bill Watterson didn’t want it adapted

    Now we just need Bill Watterson to kick it and we’ll finally have a perpetual energy generator. Just kidding - stay healthy, Bill.
