Take a look at this beautiful painting:
It’s not just a lovely portrait of Petey Otterloop from Richard Thomspon’s Cul de Sac; it’s also the first publicly-released work from Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson in 16 years. The famously reclusive creator has broken his creative silence to contribute this oil painting to the “Team Cul de Sac” fundraiser to benefit Parkinson’s research (Thompson was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2009); it’d be too much to hope that this means more of Watterson’s recent work may be released to the public, but that isn’t stopping me from crossing my fingers…
