Bill Watterson is the reason I decided to pursue art, and specifically cartooning, as a career. Not quite there yet… but hopefully one day. :)
Oh, and Alan… it should be “the effect” not “the affect.” :)

Yeah…as sweet, innocent and iconic as C&H was, I can’t say it was my favorite strip ever.
Maybe I could do a “dearmrbreathed” documentary.
Nah…too derivative, like my strip.
Ok, how about a “www.curseyoujimdavisand your insipidcreation.com” site?
or “www.ohpleasegawdstopalltheickysexyteentitillationMrEvans.net”?
or “www.ImsodepressedIwannakillmyselfnowbecauseofyourstripMrBatiuk.org”
Just spitballing….
