Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip by Nevin Martell

2.0

A semi-enjoyable account of C&H and Bill Watterson, but it is severely marred by the lack of access to Watterson himself. Martell tries very hard, but it's not that interesting to ready a few hundred pages of 2nd hand accounts from college classmates and old neighbors. If we want to get cynical, is this not a merchandised cash-in that Watterson has been fighting against for decades? Definitely can skip it unless you are the biggest C&H fan of all time. Also, Mental Floss's recent exclusive with Watterson pretty much renders this obsolete. Better off reading that or old C&H compendiums.
