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

4.0

I generally like biographies, and believe that everyone has an interesting story to be told. I'm sure Bill Watterson does, but he made it as difficult as possible to tell it. I can respect that, and it made the angle of this book different than most biographies. The author tiptoed around Mr. Watterson, interviewing friends and relatives, but being extremely careful not to step on any toes. I respect that approach, but it made the book more of a mystery. I certainly found out things I didn't know, and you definitely get a closer look at the man, but I don't think I've ever read a biography that told so little. Yet I still enjoyed it.
