We’re buying a beer for… Bill Watterson

It’s been 15 years since you stopped writing Calvin and Hobbes, for our money the best cartoon in the long history of the artform. Cleveland.com runs a nice interview with you in which you discuss walking away:
It’s always better to leave the party early. If I had rolled along with the strip’s popularity and repeated myself for another five, 10 or 20 years, the people now “grieving” for “Calvin and Hobbes” would be wishing me dead and cursing newspapers for running tedious, ancient strips like mine instead of acquiring fresher, livelier talent. And I’d be agreeing with them.
We can’t blame you, but we certainly wish there was more. Maybe a beer will inspire.
