  • Hmm. New Watterson coming.

    From Ted Nolan @21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 17 04:03:07 2023
    But not art apparently. The reveal is almost an aside in this,
    rather overwrought, explication of "Calvin & Hobbes":

    And Watterson's Angoulême poster,
    and his Cul de Sac charity piece,
    and his prose tribute to Charles M. Schulz,
    and his poster for the film Stripped,
    and an introduction to a Richard Thompson book,
    and an interview with Richard Thompson,
    and a charity drawing of a dinosaur for a children's hospital,
    and ???? https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2023/03/22/wayback-wednesday-with-watterson-and-others/

    All of the press releases state that Watterson and Kascht collaborated on
    the artwork for the book. They don't state who did what, but looking at the promotional images it seems clear that Kascht did the character art, and Watterson did the backgrounds. Each of their distinct styles are clearly
    there. So there is Watterson art, just not what you might expect.
