Watterson is really interesting. Some of his C&H collection books have short essays, and some have original poetry--"Nauseous Nocturne" is great--and of course he wrote all of the strip's dialogs. He's certainly a good writer. The fact that Watterson held firm and never licensed his creation, and also stood up to the newspaper conglomerates to ensure C&H got printed adequately is fascinating. I have a lot of respect for him.
