One last "Calvin and Hobbes"-related memory:

In 2014, Bill Watterson emerged from hibernation to ghost-draw one week of "Pearls Before Swine" strips.

I was pretty certain I had figured out the gimmick on the first day … but I couldn’t convince the St. Louis Post-Dispatch features department to report on it.

So I did it myself:

I wasn't an ANSI artist in the 1990s, but more recently I've been creating animations in the Atari ST's obscure "IGS" format.

I'm most proud of an original "Calvin and Hobbes" animation I released last year that shows what might have happened if Calvin had owned _two_ cardboard boxes.
