One of the best damn comic in the funnies section of the paper. Why Waterson walked away from it is a mystery. The story goes he got tired of doing it. Well I can understand that, I suppose, but how about doing a feature cartoon for the wide screen Bill? To bad, it would have been great.
he did 10 years, and I've done 9... I know very well why he quit while he was on top, all ahead of the competition. He did it his way, and nothing impinged his principles.
Read his 10th anniversary book, he talks some about how much he had to fight the syndicate and his ideas on not marketing Calvin and Hobbes. My kids love his books, I have most of them, if not all of them.
