Bill Watterson Calvin And Hobbes

Joel Allen Schroeder's documentary Dear Mr. Watterson: An Exploration of Calvin & Hobbes introduces us to numerous people who were profoundly influenced by the philosophical and very warmhearted comic strip created and written by Bill Watterson, who has studiously avoided the spotlight since ending the strip in 1995. Nearly two decades later, the film showcases how the collected works of Watterson still speak to readers everywhere.

A documentary on comic strips, with never-seen-before interviews from Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes), Jim Davis (Garfield), Jeff Keane (Family Circus), Cathy Guisewite (Cathy) and dozens more. The film asks a central question: Where do comic strips go when newspapers die? Everybody loves comics, but will they survive in a digital world?

Un número de antología, de esos que los gringos llaman "must be" (debe tenerse). Tal vez, por ser el primer número, la trama no nos entregue mucha información ni nos cautive como en las entregas anteriores, pero lo que sí es digno de alabanza es el homenaje que el dueto Hill-Rodriguez rinden a Bill Watterson, el creador de la clásica tira cómica Calvin & Hobbes. Sencillamente magnífico.
