Now that J.D. Salinger is gone, Bill Watterson has become America's #2 famous recluse, trailing only Thomas Pynchon. But he seems to have a pretty poor grasp of what the job entails. What kind of recluse would go and conduct on online interview--with Cleveland.com, no less?
Amazingly, it seems free from the bitterness that marked his last days as a cartoonist. Not once does he rail against fat cat syndicates and sellout cartoonists. It's a miracle! No word, though, on whether he's actually hand-drawing a Calvin & Hobbes feature film. I wish, I wish that rumor were true.
