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.

Which is not to detract from the guy's work. Being a prick and being a genius in one's work are not necessarily mutually exclusive concepts.

(28,552 posts)... you know I've always loved a good comic/cartoon. Done correctly, they can impart so much with so little.
This one is great.
