Any help would be appreciated. I live about an hour from Chagrin Falls and visit the area weekly. I am always on the lookout, but I think I have a better chance of being struck by lightning than spotting Mr Watterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplyrob Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Good luck with that. A unicorn or pegasus may be easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhamlau Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The issue is the man is beyond selective with his projects. He stopped doing the most popular strip of the decade and took many sabbaticals because of stress and lack of desire to create inferior or "corporate" type work....also being worth 1/2 a billion dollars which could be brought to over a billion if he allowed character licensing will make it hard to get him interested in a project. You would have better luck doing a deal with Mark Cuban than Watterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 And yet he recently co-illustrated that strip and donated the art I believe for charity. The right gig is indeed elusive but not impossible, and Brian's no fool. (Cue Chevy reply.) And I think you have equal chances of being struck by lightning as you do in running into Watterson in his home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that in the last 22 years the man has done a total of 2 interview and published 6 total drawings for various charities and for established cartoonists friends of his...As far as ive seen thats it. It would be hard to imagine that man would have contact info anyone reading this could acquire or that he would be willing to do interview 3 or drawing 7. Not saying it cant happen, but just its not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's he been doing all day (serious question)? Private studies? Writing books using a pen name? Doing Drawings that the world is not supposed to see? It's hard to imagine an imaginative nature like him not commenting on anything (but in his own household). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to reveal anything, just curious whether you managed to contact him? Edited June 13, 2018 by Pickie Interview seems to be from April, 2014.

J.Sid Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 As soon as someone gets his contact info, could they be sure to post it here so that I can hit him up as well? Thx Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If you'd like a little Bill Watterson C&H artwork, there's some coming up for auction this weekend at Heroescon. You do not need to be present to bid. J.Sid and ▫️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickie Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @alxjhnsn: Thank you for your info, but I'm not interested in C&H original artwork. Watterson has left the comic art behind. He's beyond comics. I'd just be happy if he found himself a new way to tell a story or to share some impressions he has of today's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Peck Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Let me rephrase that. I was looking to contact Bill for a friend. I was never involved with it. I wasn't able to contact him. Sorry for the confusion. Pickie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
