I truly wish Watterson would bring C&H back. Even for a limited time to give us his version of what has happened to our favorite snowman creating child.
I hate to admit it but I like Maria’s whole attitude, complete with her idea of how cave-men communicated (Me now have Google, You walk upright, invent wheel).
For the record- we do not know Bill Watterson. We’re just readers like you. I do have one cartoonist friend who went to school with him, but she probably hasn’t seen him since then. So I’m not expecting any calls based on that!
I’m very grateful to my dad for instilling in me a much stronger sense of history than probably most six-year-olds have. He always pointed out to me that the cartoons I’d watch on VHS were thirty to fifty years old. And since I couldn’t read roman numerals, he’s always tell me whatever year it was. I even remember the first time I ever saw a black and white cartoon (Mickey Mouse’s “The Mail Pilot,” 1933) and I asked “Why is it all gray?” And he said “Well, because it’s very old.” “Oh, you mean it’s so old the colors all turned to gray?”“Uh, no…”So I just can’t relate to Maria at ALL here. XD

Google or no, it’s still hard to contact and/or have a conversation with someone who truly doesn’t want to be contacted. Let alone conversed with.

As you may know, Seth MacFarlane is working on reviving “The Flintstones.” One new device they will have will be the I-Stone.

Marla, if everybody could just Google Bill Watterson and track him down to talk to him, they would’ve done it by now.

I’m posting this again with the typo fixed. Hopefully, in an hour or so, the corrected version will make the incorrect version only a bitter memory.

Correct sir.

Do I see Hobbes’s shadow hiding behind the corner in panel 2?
