Fearless Freep

"Dilbert" used to be very funny most of the time.  However, now a lot of the humour feels very forced, like he's running short of ideas nad is just going for a quick joke , minus a lot of the subtlety and cynicism of his early work

this is going to be a very bad movie.
and not in a good way either.
i have seen some shots of it and i am less than impressed.
Bill Murray's talent is going to waste with this one.

Vermin Boy

...why not Zippy the Pinhead?

Can you imagine how amazing that movie would be (provided it was done right), especially inflicted on the "live action Scooby Doo" audience? Of course, Bill Griffith would have to write the screenplay, and play Griffy.

It's a shame Bill Watterson felt so protective over Calvin And Hobbes. I'm sure a wonderful cartoon show could have been made as long as they didn't water down Calvins anarchic sensibilities.

Fearless Freep

I read some of Bill Watterson's reasons behind not being willing to license "Calvin & Hobbes" for other media and as much as I'd love to more "Calvin & Hobbes", I have to agree with his reasons.

Actually, the same goes for the strip itself.  I would love to have more cartoon's, but he largely used the comic to talk about things he was thinking about and it seems he kinda ran out of ways to say the same things within that context, so he seemed to just let the strip end rather than keep it going and let it go stale.
