The (Somewhat) Return of Bill Watterson

Seems like ole Bill Watterson, creator of the beloved Calvin & Hobbes, has been popping up a lot lately. There's a documentary about him, there's another documentary featuring his work and an interview and, now, he's contributed some panels to Stephan Pastis' strip Pearls Before Swine. The story is pretty remarkable - Pastis reaches out to Watterson blindly and they end up collaborating on a few strips.

I recommend reading the entire story before diving into the actual comic strips. It's great to see Watterson's work in any context and it certainly works incredibly well here.
