Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Book description: Quote From Bill Watterson, bestselling creator of the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, and John Kascht, one of America’s most renowned caricaturists, comes a mysterious and beautifully illustrated fable about what lies beyond human understanding. In a fable for grown-ups by cartoonist Bill Watterson, a long-ago kingdom is afflicted with unexplainable calamities. Hoping to end the torment, the king dispatches his knights to discover the source of the mysterious events. Years later, a single battered knight returns. For the book's illustrations, Watterson and caricaturist John Kascht worked together for several years in unusually close collaboration. Both artists abandoned their past ways of working, inventing images together that neither could anticipate—a mysterious process in its own right.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Calvin and Hobbes creator speaks! (On his first published work in 28 years) WWW.POLYGON.COM Bill Watterson never publishes new work or speaks in public — except this week, he’s done both Quote Here are two things that don’t happen every day. Bill Watterson, creator of the revered comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, has released a new graphic novel — his first published work in the 28 years since Calvin and Hobbes ended. And the infamously reclusive, publicity-shunning artist has also spoken about the book in an illuminating and funny video describing his collaboration with the book’s co-creator, artist John Kascht. The Mysteries, published Tuesday, is described by its publisher Andrews McMeel as “a mysterious and beautifully illustrated fable about what lies beyond human understanding.” Written by Watterson, it’s an elusive story about a medieval-style kingdom afflicted by terrible events, and what happened to the knights dispatched to discover the source of these calamities. Its haunting, black-and-white mixed-media illustrations, which combine painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture, were a collaboration between Watterson and Kascht, a caricaturist. The collaboration between the two artists took years to bear fruit, and was often a frustrating process of trying to find the common ground in their mismatched styles and temperaments. All this is detailed in the video, in which we listen to the two artists’ accounts of the process while watching their hands paint, cut, paste, and assemble artworks for the book.

I think more themes or vibe and not like they expected to see Calvin in the woods somewhere. But I guess you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
