Bill Watterson Is Back (For a Bit)

Bill Watterson, the legendary cartoonist behind Calvin and Hobbes, returned to the comic strip world for a little bit. Without any previous announcement, he drew a few Pearls Before Swine strips for less than a week with Stephan Pastis! You could tell the drawing was a bit different (obviously, as the story called for), but the news that it was Watterson came after the strips were published. He apparently decided to come out of his world of recluse when Pastis offered it to him. According to Pastis, Watterson had said he always thought drawing for the strip would be a good collaboration. I'm glad it happened! Check out the story below:
