How the fuck have I neither seen nor heard of this yet?

torrent where?

>>33819164
>>33819213
This.

>>33819164
this. and why do things like this happen to me all the time?

>>33819213
I can't find one. I think it's too fresh off the festival run.

No I want a torrent fuck you 4chan

>>33822883
so do I ;_;

Holy dickens, sauce?

>crappy movie about some guy that drew some stuff

Not a true calvin and hobbes movie, not interested.

Is Bill Watterson even alive anymore? He vanished off the face of the earth 18 years go.

>>33823542

Really? Of all threads to try and troll you chose this one?

>>33823560

He died in a sledding accident.

Does anyone even know what Bill Waterson looks like? The man's a hermit and I've never seen a legit photo of him.

>>33823560
Didn't he say he wants nothing to do with movies/TV shows/monetary adaptations of the comic?

he lives here in cleveland allegedly.
>>33823595
yes.
all the frat boy calvin shirts you see are custom made shit.

and unless they actually interview Watterson in the doc, which I doubt, the doc is pointless.
I really dont care to hear how many shitty shirts Seth Green made of Calvin.

>>33823593
he looks like Calvins dad but with a moustache.

Uncle Max.

>>33823593

I saw a picture once. He looks a lot like Calvin's dad.

I'd rather watch a movie about Gary Larson.

>>33823595
He never wanted his work commercialized. No plushies, no animated adaptation, no T-shirts, no gift cards, no nothing. Obviously his syndicate wanted all that money so he had to fight with it constantly for control of his work.

>tfw after all these years you realize Calvin's dad was the good guy, trying to straighten his son out without stunting his creativity

>>33823696
I fear the day of his death. I hope he will protect his work post mortum with a trust or whatever

>>33823685

No, not really. Max was rounder and more like Gene Hackman. Watterson looks literally like Calvin's dad with a moustache.

>>33823705
>and now the few signed copies are worth tens of thousands

Thanks Bill

>>33823654
>>33823696
>tfw

He better tie up all the comics/characters in as many laws/trusts/protection that Jew gold can buy so they don't use his stuff when he dies

>>33823706
It's also implied that, as a child, Calvin's mom was as much of a terror as he is.

>>33823762

Really? When was that implied?

WAS CALVIN AUTISTIC

>see this thread

Th-thanks, 4chan. I didn't want to sleep tonight, anyway.

>>33823705
>Go into a book STORE
>Sign copies of books that exist to be sold

Faggot has no one to blame but himself.

>>33823705

That's pure vandalism.
Anyone can sign his name. No one asked for the book they bought to be defaced.

>>33823786
yes, he spent all day on 4chan and learned about tulpas but instead of flutterfuck he made a tiger.

>>33823813

He should have done it in a library

>>33823813

I think he means resold by the people who bought them, for hundreds of dollars.

>>33823813
you don't understand. he was butthurt because they sold it for MORE. he just wanted to make a nice surprise

Looking back at it, Calvin and Hobbes is good, but I still think I prefer Gunshow.

I picked up a second hand Calvin & Hobbes collection not long ago,I thought it would be a good dump digest,ultimately I found it pretty dated

>>33823838
This is the first time I have seen the Master.

Not as good as Ziggy.

In one comic Calvin's mom said that she hoped he had a kid to put him through what he put her through and Calvin said that's what Grandma said she used to say to her.

>>33823884

Yeah it's strange, it's neither as funny nor as awesome as I remembered.

The books ceased to be his property the moment they were purchased by a consumer.

>>33823902
Doesn't matter. When a customer buys the initial copy of a book, they can do whatever they want with it afterward.

>>33823782
He mentions that his grandmother told him that she once wished that his mother had a child as much of a trouble as she was.

>>33823714
If he's smart he'll leave all his rights to a trust and make sure no-one has the ability to sell them.

If he's dumb he'll leave them to his family, who will almost certainly be overcome with greed.

>>33823886
I might have expected him to look a little bit more like a hippie, given his "it's about the art, not the money MAAAAAAAN" attitude.

>>33823796
I own the complete box set, and I make it a yearly ritual to read the whole thing. This thread served as a reminder that I ought to get to it soon.

C&H search engine. you're welcome.

The Far Side was always the better comic.

In his 1990 speech to Kenyon College graduates, Watterson revealed that during his last year he had painted Michelangelo's Creation of Adam from the Sistine Chapel on the ceiling of his dorm room:

“By standing on a chair, I could reach the ceiling, and I taped off a section, made a grid, and started to copy the picture from my art history book. Working with your arm over your head is hard work, so a few of my more ingenious friends rigged up a scaffold for me by stacking two chairs on my bed, and laying the table from the hall lounge across the chairs and over to the top of my closet. By climbing up onto my bed and up the chairs, I could hoist myself onto the table, and lie in relative comfort two feet under my painting. My roommate would then hand up my paints, and I could work for several hours at a stretch.

The picture took me months to do, and in fact, I didn't finish the work until very near the end of the school year. I wasn't much of a painter then, but what the work lacked in color sense and technical flourish, it gained in the incongruity of having a High Renaissance masterpiece in a college dorm that had the unmistakable odor of old beer cans and older laundry.”

I read a book called Finding Calvin & Hobbes recently about a dude trying to get an interview with Bill Watterson. He's beyond reclusive, its like he pretends he has nothing to do with C&H.

Its a good read.

>>33824142
There's no comparison though. One is high weirdness with occasional moments of brilliant insight, the other is the perfect depiction of a kid with a wild imagination and sense of adventure. They aren't even remotely similar.

>>33823560
well....it involved a red wagon...

>>33824142
I too like comparing the qualities of apples and oranges, anon.

>>33823639
god damn, every time i re-read these, they get more genius.
I swear Hobbes was aware he was in a comic strip.

>>33824203
One was a brilliant work of wit and irony and the other was a comic about a kid with an overly active imagination.

The Far Side was a thinking man's comic.

>>33824086
i love how by the time you get to the end of the strip, there was enough great content that a punchline isn't even necessary. but it's there anyway and it's hilarious.

>>33824154

His Kenyon speech is one of the best speeches I have ever read. It was absolutely incredible.

Watterson's comic wasn't successful because it was well-drawn. There are lots of well drawn comics

it was successful because watterson is a genius

>>33824191
I read that too.

I respect Bill for distancing himself from his creation so it can be enjoyed without any unnecessary outside distraction.We know he worked hard on the comic for years and that's all we really need to know.

>>33824283
Both are more cerebral than say Cathy or Marmaduke but stop being a turd about it. The Farside was often just weird for the sake of being weird and little more.

hey guise!!!

imagine

imagine just for a second!

watterson kept making calvin strips but he just didn't print them anymore

>>33824283
But look at the way Watterson fucked with the format, the way he divides his panels in his later Sunday strips for example. It's definitely one of the greats.
