Review of Dear Mr. Watterson (2013) by Shawn S — 06 Jun 2014
This is pretty much a love letter from the fans of Calvin and Hobbes to Bill Watterson. Watterson does not appear himself (as the documentary stated, he is the Sasquatch of comic artists), but a lot of other artists do, along with fans of all ages, ready to tell the world how Calvin and Hobbes has inspired them personally.
If you're looking for something telling the rise and "fall" of Bill Watterson, or the detailed story of how Calvin and Hobbes came to be, this probably isn't the documentary for you.
If you want to share in the excitement and joy the comic strip has brought people, and understand how it manages to live on despite the lack of merchandising, how it manages to create new fans as the years go by, spanning generations, then you should give this a watch.
