And later ended because countless fucknuts had to have him plastered on their dick-surrogates pissing on whatever, etc.
Ah, good ol’ dumbass hooman monkeys. The real reason the rest of us can’t have nice things. 🖕🏼
Watterson took a second sabbatical from April 3 through December 31, 1994. His return came with an announcement that Calvin and Hobbes would be concluding at the end of 1995. Stating his belief that he had achieved everything that he wanted to within the medium, he announced his intention to work on future projects at a slower pace with fewer artistic compromises.

Watterson is a unique guy that I seem to recall at one point said he didn’t want C&H to turn into some big merch/toy driven thing, trying to just keep it about the story instead. Leaving it before it could be corrupted was probably one of the best moves he could make.
Unfortunately we got all the bootleg distasteful Calvin pissing on whatever stickers. Usually on brodozers or other obnoxious vehicles.
On the plus side, I suppose, most of the people who buy those probably don’t even know what Calvin and Hobbes is in the first place.
