   Calvin n Hobbs was never in our local paper, so I never followed it or its artist. Is today’s story factual or fiction?

   Kudos to Kory. You’ve managed to blur the lines between fact and fiction to a fine, smooth grain.

   there are re-runs on go comics here but this sounds like fiction, bill quit drawing calvin and hobbs because he had said all he wanted to say and thought it better to leave the party early. he also hated the idea of merchandizing and none of the merchandized images of calvin and hobbs are authorized calvin wizzing on a logo was popular a few years ago all of them are pirated

   I wonder how much of this is even partially reflective of Mr. Watterson’s reality? It is certainly mythopoetic!

   I love the color palette today (even though I had to look up the word palette to make sure I spelled it correctly). Orange and red are great colors for the psychotic break poor Mr. Watterson is alleged to have had (although if all this happened to me, I would likely HAVE a psychotic break before all was said and done).

   Please don’t use “alleged”. It is a dirty word. We like to keep our conversations clean here.

   Great job as usual, Kory…

   Even as good a father as I am, I think many of us can still relate to that last line.

    Well, that answers my earlier question on the order of events. But to think that such a tragedy could yield such a funny comic…

    Did/does Bill Watterson actually have a son named Marvin? That’s the question. I couldn’t find anything on the interwebs.

    Kory, when are you going to develop an official website/blog?

    Today’s strip almost made me cry.

    This is the hallmark of great fiction. The blending in a seamless way of fact an fiction. I don’t know Mr. Watterson’s early family history. So I can’t see where the real an the surreal changes which is all the better. That is what I struggle to do in my fiction as does every writer.

    Absolutely unbelieveable! You have managed to create an entirely new type of comic (to the best of my knowledge) and it is great!
    I must ask, Kory, do you know Bill Watterson? Is he cooperating in the creation of this tale?
