Not gonna lie, Pearls Before Swine has become one of my favorite mainstream comic strips. That guy is witty and can occasionally push the envelope.
-
Stephan Pastis is coming to Indianapolis in a couple of weeks. I'm going to meet him and get him to sign one of my Pearls collections!
-
I’m sure you probably already know this, but he is so respected that Bill Watterson did a handful of the strips.
-
I actually did not know that! It must not be in any of the collections I have unless it isn't obvious. Do you know when he did them?
-
Here’s an article about it. Apparently it was June 4th, 5th, & 6th of 2014. I thought Watterson did the whole strip, but according to the article, he only did the middle panel. Still, pretty impressive that he would volunteer to do it!
-
Thanks! Berkeley Breathed did a Bloom County series during COVID where Opus and co. work to reunite Hobbes with Calvin. I think it was only done with Watterson's permission, but it looks really close to his art.
-
I've never seen that, thanks for sharing!
-
Have you ever seen the one-off cartoon that Watterson drew for the cartoon documentary Stripped?
-
And lastly, this is one of my favorite Pearls Before Swine! 🤣

And it looks like June 7th was Pastis doing a tribute to the last Calvin & Hobbes strip.
(I found all 4 strips on GoComics with a Google search for the dates.)
