More From the Desktop . . .
For years I’ve wanted a T-shirt of this:
From this great Calvin & Hobbes strip.
I wonder if Watterson could ever be persuaded to license it.
Guess not:
Bill refused to merchandise his creation on the grounds that pasting Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially-sold coffee mugs, stickers and t-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities.
More on this rare decision, by which Watterson “has forgone millions of dollars a year in additional income.”
This was “the only licensed and approved Calvin shirt to exist“:
There’s a lot of bootleg Calvin & Hobbes stuff, showcased here with a funny combination of prurience and disapproval.
Oh well.
