Then Bill Watterson came along and reminded a new generation of what older readers and comic strip aficionados knew: A well-written and beautifully drawn strip is an intricate, powerful form of communication. And with \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e, we had fun--just like readers of \u003ci\u003eKrazy Kat\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePogo\u003c\/i\u003e did. Opening the newspaper each day was an adventure. The heights of Watterson's creative imagination took us places we had never been. We miss that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with the first exhibition of original \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e Sunday pages at The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library. Although the work was created for reproduction, not for gallery display, was a pleasure to see the cartoonist's carefully placed lines and exquisite brush strokes. In an attempt to share this experience with those who were unable to visit the exhibition, all of the original Sunday pages displayed are reproduced in color in this book so that every detail, such as sketch lines, corrections, and registration marks, are visible. On the opposite page the same comic strip is printed in full color. Because Watterson was unusually intentional and creative in his use of color, this juxtaposition provides \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e readers the opportunity to consider the impact of color on its narrative and content. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen I first contacted Bill Watterson about the possibility of exhibiting his original work, I used the term \"retrospective.\" He replied that we might be able to do an exhibit, but that calling it a retrospective made him uncomfortable. He felt that a longer time was needed to put Calvin and Hobbes in the historical perspective implied by that term. Nonetheless, this show is a \"look back\" at the comic strip as we revisit favorites that we remember. \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985-1995\u003c\/i\u003e is particularly interesting because each work that is included was selected by Bill Watterson. His comments about the thirty-six Sunday pages he chose are part of this volume. In addition, he reflects on \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e from the perspective of six years, and his essay provides insights into his life as a syndicated cartoonist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReprint books of \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e are nice to have, but the opportunity to see the original work and read Bill Watterson's thoughts about it is a privilege. He generously shared not only the art, but also his time and his thoughts. When I first reviewed the works included in the exhibit, I knew that everyone who visited it would begin with laughter and end with tears. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn behalf of all who enjoyed \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e, thank you, Bill Watterson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--Lucy Shelton Caswell, Professor and Curator The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library, June 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Watterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrews McMeel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 10.84w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780740721359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 12-17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBill Watterson is the creator of \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most popular and well-regarded cartoon strips of the twentieth century. \u003ci\u003eCalvin and Hobbes\u003c\/i\u003e appeared in newspapers from November 1985 until Watterson's retirement in 1995. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnline: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003egocomics.com\/calvinandhobbes\/","brand":"Bill Watterson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49819482128612,"sku":"9780740721359","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9780740721359.jpg?v=1788854239"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/collections\/bill-watterson.oembed?page=2","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
