Bill Watterson is back! For a few days anyway. Comics legend Bill Watterson, creator of "Calvin & Hobbes," guest drew some panels of "Pearls Before Swine" this last week. "Pearls" creator Stephan Pastis was asked by Watterson not to let anybody know that he was working on the strip until they finished running.
Pastis writes on is blog…
"At every point in the process, I feared I would say something wrong. And that Bill would disappear back into the ether. And that the whole thing would seem like a wisp of my imagination."
While it is not more Calvin and Hobbes as we all wish for, it is great seeing more art by this comics legend.To See Stephan Pastis' blog with more on how this came to be click here…

On a personal note, I once wrote to Mr. Watterson and he very kindly sent me a note back.
