Is Bill Waterson still alive and cool? Or did he get milkshake-duck'd?
Cause I think getting a picture of Hobbes saying "Trans Rights" would do a lot to heal the world.
@kelseyhusky More answer than you wanted: 😊
The good news is that as far as I know, Mr. Watterson remains pure and unsullied!
The bad news is that he did so by switching over to landscape painting and becoming notoriously avoidant of any and all publicity.
Sadly, it would take miraclse of theological proportions to get him to do anything Calvin and Hobbes related again. He's cartooned for the public roughly 3–5 times in the 24 years since his strip ended.

@kelseyhusky he’s still alive, and supposedly switched gears to do fine art. What’s odd is I know he started his career as a political cartoonist- he said he wasn’t good at it- but I have no clue what his politics actually are.
I’m glad to know that Mr Waterson decided to retain his integrity and not sell out or become horrible like other cartoonists I could name.
But still. How awesome would that be? Pretty awesome, IMO.
