New Bill Watterson Comic Is A Simple But Perfect Celebration Of Comics [View all]

When Bill Watterson makes a comic about comics, his affection for and mastery of the medium are clear. This nearly wordless, Sunday newspaper-style comic is a reminder of just how much we've missed Watterson's work since Calvin and Hobbes ended.

Watterson made this comic for a poster to promote the 42nd annual Angoulême International Comics Festival, which will be held in Angoulême, France, from January 29th-February 1st, 2015. And it's a thoroughly delightful poster.
