@hermitfriend Both are true: no respect and boys - probably go way back.

Also, Lei as the formal Italian “you” is increasingly rare in conversation. That might have been an even bigger did - I don’t recognize you anymore …

@pegobry_en It’s a hot topic.

I’m sorry.

[Father Brother M @binbmatthew]

@pegobry_en As one comedian put it, Fahrenheit is like a percentage. 70% hot, fine. 30% means cold. Above 100 who cares anymore, just stay inside. I get that growing up with Celsius could make it make sense but when you start Fahrenheit you can’t love Celsius.

As a preteen I admired him and so sided with him in his desire not to license out his creation - while having little understanding of economics.
Have to hand it to him for leaving all that money on the table.

There is a way in which each creation has its own genre and art form.
AI has given us enough mashups—that we chuckle at and forget two minutes later—to appreciate the original.

He revolutionized the comic strip and is arguably the greatest in that medium. That medium may not endure but I’m glad I won’t be around when Calvin and Hobbes becomes public domain.

Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes is an interesting figure in my life.

On the one hand, Calvin and Hobbes is, for my money, the greatest newspaper strip of all time. I wish I had one tenth of this man's talent. I still think back on how the stories he told got me through some of the rough patches in my childhood by giving me this example of another kid with a vivid imagination who was a bit of a loner (depending on what your views on Hobbes are) who I could identify with.

On the other hand, I'm on the complete opposite side of the scale from him when it comes to our views on licensing and comics as a business. He had in his mind the notion that seeing a comic book character made into a toy and put on a store shelf cheapens it somehow. I think that's idiotic. Seeing a character in different contexts is what makes it into an enduring part of the culture. Watterson was inspired greatly in his work by Peanuts, which was extensively licensed out. I, as someone born decades later than Watterson, wouldn't have any connection to Peanuts at all if not for the holiday specials. Licensing keeps characters alive. Meanwhile, I'm worried that Calvin and Hobbes is starting to fade away as a new generation grows up without it.

But maybe I'm also just salty that my childhood wish to see a Calvin and Hobbes movie about "the noodle incident" never came true.

@patricklencioni Well said.
