One Red Hot Country Mama!

I found this Tribute to Calvin and Hobbes Snowman Art . Bill Watterson, who created the comic strip, was somewhat of an artistic idealist, forcing newspapers to publish in his format and refusing to let his cartoons be merchandised. Those ubiquitous stickers on the back of trucks with Calvin urinating on a company logo were actually unauthorized.

Watterson created the snowmen as a criticism of the pretentious art-world. Was he including himself in that category? Since the last strip ran in 1995, Watterson has taken up painting and drawing landscapes in the woods. Me and other fans spanning generations sure wish he would come back out here to draw more snowmen.
