About the Book
"In cooperation with the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, The Ohio State University Libraries."Book Synopsis
Enjoy this beautiful companion book to the extensive Exploring Calvin and Hobbes exhibition at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library. Includes an in-depth, original, and lengthy interview with Bill Watterson. Exploring Calvin and Hobbes is the catalogue for an exhibition by the same name at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at Ohio State University that ran in 2014. The exhibit is Bill Watterson's personal exploration of how the wonder of Calvin and Hobbes came to be. It includes original art of Calvin and Hobbes, along with Watterson's original commentary. The show also includes art from cartoons and cartoonists that Watterson has identified as influential in the development of his art, including Peanuts, Pogo, Krazy Kat, Doonesbury, Pat Oliphant, Jim Borgman, Flash Gordon, Bloom County, and Steadman. The book also includes an extensive, original interview with Watterson by Jenny Robb, the exhibition's curator. The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum is the repository of the Bill Watterson Deposit Collection (including the entirety of Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes artwork).Review Quotes
"Bill Watterson talks: This is why you must read the new 'Exploring Calvin and Hobbes' book ... For any true fan of cartooning, it is a must-read, a must-buy, a must-pick-up ... "Bill Watterson has delivered a gift, a trip down memory lane that is populated densely on each side with personal and professional insights -- some grippingly specific, some that ring universal, many that resonate as both." (Michael Cavna, The Washington Post)
