Bill Watterson didn't need all these tools and platforms. Just paper and ink.
Right now we have content, info and tool overload and Layoffs are a sign of over production.
Plus people like Katzenberg love to jump around funding new stuff and telling/distracting/fomoing people more creative than them - hey you better learn this or be good at that, cause why else do people need him in the room?
- jjulius 3y agoBut (and I say this as a huge Watterson fan and someone who kinda agrees with your crux) Watterson never animated anything. The single-strip format is far more fitting for a one-man shop than an animated film, at least at this point in time.
- egypturnash 3y agoWatterson needed Universal Press Syndicate to distribute his drawings to newspapers. And all the people involved in making, printing, and distributing those papers. There was a pretty long chain between his drawing table and you chuckling at Calvin's antics over your morning coffee.
