Bill Watterson gives what is believed to be the first interview with the reclusive artist since 1989.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought of him today. I saw a pickup with a Calvin in cowboy gear pissing on some random logo sticker and his recluseness came to mind.

I always expected some other work from BW. Not necessarily a comic strip, but something. But if he said all he wanted to say, more power to him, and kudos for knowing when that moment was.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Just hovering over the link made me throw up in my mouth a little. Do I even want to click it?

The article doesn't go into specifics; I just found it to be angry-making rather than nauseating.

Okay, I read it, and I still stand by my throwing up. I don't trust DiDio to do anything right.
I do like the picture at the bottom, with Batman pimp-slapping Rorschach, though.

Ha! I'd initially clicked over and read a little bit of the article and left in disgust, but I had to go back for the picture. Well worth the return.

Any bets on who would be hackish or arrogant enough to take that on?
