've got one of those in the back window of my van. It's my identity. I don't think that Mr. Watterson did that art work either.

Quotes: Q: What led you to resist merchandising Calvin and Hobbes?

A: For starters, I clearly miscalculated how popular it would be to show Calvin urinating on a Ford logo. . . . Actually, I wasn't against all merchandising when I started the strip, but each product I considered seemed to violate the spirit of the strip, contradict its message, and take me away from the work I loved. If my syndicate had let it go at that, the decision would have taken maybe 30 seconds of my life.

Q: What books do you keep reading over and over again?

A: Hmm. Suddenly I feel very shallow.
