About the Artist...
Meet the creator of Calvin and Hobbes!! I hereby present to you,
Bill Watterson!!
PERSONAL DETIALS
Watterson was born the 5th of July 1958, in Washington D.C.
At the age of six, he moved to Chagrin Falls in Ohio. He has a younger
brother. His father was an attorney and his mother served on the city council.
They claim their son was "nothing" like Calvin. He lives with his wife,
Melissa, their adopted children and several cats in Hudson, Ohio.
HISTORY
As a kid, he spent hours drawing cartoons. After college, at Kenyon College,
he worked six months at The Cincinnati Post as an editorial cartoonist.
Staffers at the Post remember Watterson as "That little guy with the round
glasses, who was really strange." He kept trying to sell comic strips, but
failed. "I don't regret the years of effort and disappointment," Watterson
once recalled.
ACHIEVEMENTS
After trying six other strips, he finally hit on "Calvin and Hobbes", in 1985.
In 1986, he won a "Reuben", the top award of the National Cartoonists Society
(NCS). He did it again in 1988. He Graduated from Kenyon College in
Gambier, Ohio, in 1980 with a degree in political science,
but says: "I always wanted to draw a comic strip."
