Bill Watterson Loans OSU 3000 Originals

image

Cartoonist Bill Watterson has loaned over 3000 Calvin and Hobbes originals to the Ohio State University holdings under the direction of Lucy Caswell. This is noteworthy for a few reasons. First, Watterson still has almost all of his originals, so they're not seen very often. Second, one can't help but see the timing of this as part of what will surely be a unique publicity and marketing campaign for this Fall's release of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. I also bet they're not kidding when they say reserve your time with this work as soon as possible. If I lived in Ohio I would always be visiting OSU with fake mustaches pretending to be working on some cartoonist's or another's biography.
