Is Bill Watterson continuing to make Calvin and Hobbes?

Bill Watterson is alive and age 60 but the final Calvin and Hobbes strip ran on Sunday, December 31, 1995.

“Since the conclusion of Calvin and Hobbes, Watterson has taken up painting, at one point drawing landscapes of the woods with his father. He has kept away from the public eye and has given no indication of resuming the strip, creating new works based on the strip’s characters, or embarking on new commercial projects, though he has published several Calvin and Hobbes anthologies. He does not sign autographs or license his characters, staying true to his stated principles. In previous years, Watterson was known to sneak autographed copies of his books onto the shelves of the Fireside Bookshop, a family-owned bookstore in his hometown of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. He ended this practice after discovering that some of the autographed books were being sold online for high prices.” Wikipedia

@flutherother My link says Calvin and Hobbes for August 29, 2018

They are maybe still being syndicated though no new cartoons are being drawn. The cartoon in your link was first published on 31 August 1988

@flutherother Thanks. I got my hopes up. I have the complete anthology of Calvin and Hobbes unopened. Will read later.

Calvin & Hobbs was syndicated from 1985–1995 at which time Watterson announced that he had achieved all that he felt he could in that medium & he stepped away from our buddies!!! It seems he wanted to expand his talent & he was being held back by the powers that be & it frustrated him.

Bill Watterson has occasionally contributed to Berkeley Breathed’s Bloom County as you see here.

@filmfann Your link said that it was an April fool’s day joke. I liked the comic strip inside wirh dinosaurs

@RedDeerGuy1 It doesn’t say it is a April Fools Day joke, but something that happens on that day. One look at the strips tells you of Watterson’s involvement.

He does. In just stays in his head for his own enjoyment. Bummer. I would bite his tiger tail if I could.
