Bill Watterson Resurfaces!
Calvin And Hobbes creator Bill Watterson has released his first published cartoon in eighteen years, and it’s a documentary film poster! The documentary, Stripped, is a described as a “love letter to comic strips,” and includes interviews with such funny page luminaries as Bill Griffith, Richard Thompson and, yes, Bill Watterson.
Can’t Exploit The Comic? Exploit The Creator!
Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio have purchased the rights to Dan Dollar’s screenplay, A Boy And His Tiger. The script is about Calvin And Hobbes creator Bill Watterson’s early career and “his struggle with sudden popularity, coverage, and licensing battles.”
For over twenty years, the “notoriously reclusive” Watterson has been turning down Hollywood’s offers for a big screen adaptation of Calvin and Hobbes. It’s not hard to imagine how he feels about this.
