In the real world, Heidi and I may be broken old ladies, but in a comic strip, you can be a kid forever. That said, I have been wanting to do a proper, full-strip homage to the great Bill Watterson and his classic comic strip, Calvin & Hobbes, for a LONG time now. At least since my Garfield parody strip. When I finally had an idea, then I just needed to work up the nerve to try and mimic his fluid and lively line style. (AND pull it off digitally, no less.) I tried to give it the FLAVOR of watercolor for the colors, but still wanted it to look like a real Sunday strip, and am marginally pleased with the results.
