"Calvin and Hobbes" Creator Bill Waterson is Making His First Strips in Years for an Unlikely Comic

"Pearls Before Swine" creator Stephan Pastis contacted the elusive "Calvin" creator Bill Waterson on a whim, and in so doing managed to get the famous cartoonist to draw a series of strips for "Pearls Before Swine." In a clever move, Pastis as a character gives the strip to a second grader (a stand-in for Waterson), who proceeds to show him up at his own game.
