I've always been a huge fan of the Calvin & Hobbes cartoons. I have loads of the books.
Cleveland Scene has an article about their creator Bill Watterson and his decision to give it all up and become and shun media attention.
I was planning a post about what C&H had meant to me in the past and some of my favourite strips (I almost stole one for the background on this site). However, the kids aren't well I I just don't have the time tonight. Maybe later.
