The collection of the rarest of Bill Watterson’s artwork

Drawn! had a link a couple of days ago pointing visitors to  “Bill Watterson’s Rarest” – a site dedicated to chronicling artwork produced by Bill before and during the Calvin and Hobbes years. They also point to another site Calvin & Hobbes: Magic on Paper which is much of the same, perhaps even more detailed.  If you’re a Calvin and Hobbes fan, these are great sites to check out.

Daily Cartoonist is moving hosting providers

Just a friendly heads up that in the next couple of days, I’ll be moving this blog to another hosting provider.  For most of you the transition will be seamless and you’ll never know that anything had changed.  During the 2-3 days that the DNS record is propagated throughout the Internet, there will actually be two instances of the Daily Cartoonist running – one on the old server environment and another in the new.  The only complication this creates is if someone makes a comment on a posting on the old server after I’ve moved all the content to the new.  In such cases, I’ll do my very best to catch all comments and move them over manually.

Thanks for your continued visits!
