This is awesome, I had no idea there was a doc like this. I still remember dressing like stupendous man for Halloween one year

LOVED Calvin & Hobbes, and am truly delighted that Watterson never "sold out" his creation with endless merchandising or piss-poor animation adaptations (and that he left the strip while still on a creative high).

I really can't wait to see this.

Still my favorite comic strip of all time, and I'm glad to say I have the entire collection sitting on my shelf.

Definitely going to see this! Calvin and Hobbes is my childhood, and I continue to read and enjoy it to this day.
