Bill Watterson
In the Woods Behind the Suburbs, Where Imagination Roars
A box becomes a spaceship if you squint right.
I never left the suburbs—I let them frame my view. Inking Calvin’s mischief and Hobbes’ wit wasn’t about fame; it was about chasing the exact moment a backyard becomes an infinite frontier. I walked away when the work stopped breathing. Now I paint, walk, and listen. The woods behind the houses still whisper.
What I'm Into: cardboard box time machines, Sunday newspaper rituals, brushstrokes in ink and snow, the philosophy of snowball fights, tiger-shaped truths
