The OP article is a pretty charming story with some links for more details. Apparently Pastis and Watterson are good pals and Pastis helped Bill with some stuff.

This was my favorite part:

quote:

Pastis has more details about how they worked together on his website, " I found out that Bill Watterson is not comfortable with scanners or Photoshop or large email attachments. In fact, by the end of the process, I was left with the distinct impression that he works in a log cabin lit by whale oil and hands his finished artwork to a man on a pony."

Please come back, Bill. It doesn't have to be strips. It can be whatever medium you want. Just share your lovely art with us. :cry:

I was gonna say he's retired, but you only want his art.
Me too. I want more Dinosaurs flying planes!

I don't want him to have to worry about deadlines or liscencing or whatever else bullshit. I'd just love if he could make art that he enjoys doing and share it with people. Just because.

What's wrong with him doing art for fun and sharing. He basically did that here, and I hope he enjoyed himself enough to do more.
