Where’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ creator?
Bill Watterson remains private, 10 years after strip’s end

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio (AP) — Maybe someday, officials will put up a statue marking this quaint village as the birthplace of “Calvin and Hobbes.”

Just don’t expect cartoonist Bill Watterson to attend the unveiling ceremony. It’s been nearly 10 years since he abruptly quit drawing one of the most popular comic strips of all time. Since then, he’s been as absent as the precocious Calvin and his pet tiger, err, stuffed animal, Hobbes.

Some call Watterson reclusive. Others say he just likes his privacy.

What an incredible shame that Watterson stopped feeling the urge to write Calvin and Hobbes. And gee, he looks a lot like Dad!
