I have all my old copies of The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes in my library waiting for my daughter. Some of my most fond early memories are of Calvin and Hobbes specifically and it resonates with me in a completely different way now than it did then, obviously. I have to imagine there are other great works being made now that I might be missing out on because of my age?
One person that I think fits the bill, but isn't currently making comics is Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half is on the level.
Anyone have something new you recommend I check out?
- fredophile 7y agoIt's not new but you could check out Pearls Before Swine. A few of the strips were drawn by Bill Watterson.
- selimthegrim 7y agoI think they swapped for a week and Stephan Pastis drew some Calvin and Hobbes
- fredophile 7y agoThe time I'm thinking of was well after Calvin and Hobbes ended. I'm pretty sure that the two comics have little or no time when they both coexisted.
- sp332 7y agoRight, this is hard to explain, but it happened. (Well, it was Watterson drawing PBS.) https://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/ever-wished-that-calvin-and-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-would-return-to-the-comics-page-well-he-just-did/ https://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/ever-wished-t... Links to the strips are at the bottom.
- fredophile 7y agoI think you missed some of the context earlier in this thread. There is no disagreement that Watterson drew a few strips of PBS. The post you replied to asserted that this wasn't a swap between Watterson and Pastis. If you can explain how Watterson doing guest content creation constitutes a swap please go ahead.
- selimthegrim 7y agoI was mistaken. I misremembered Pastis' joke as an actual occurrence.
