Calvin and Hobbes--the sad letter

2010-09-05T00:38:17Z

This is the Last Calvin and Hobbes strip

Calvin and Hobbes was a syndicated daily comic strip written and illustrated by cartoonist Bill Watterson, and syndicated for 10 years, from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995.

The letter that broke our hearts:

Watterson announced the end of Calvin and Hobbes on November 9, 1995, with the following letter to thousands of newspaper editors which carried his widely-Loved Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.

Transcript
End of Calvin and Hobbes

Dear Editor:

I will be stopping Calvin and Hobbes at the end of the year. This was not a recent or an easy decision, and I leave with some sadness. My interests have shifted, however, and I believe I’ve done what I can do within the constraints of daily deadlines and small panels. I am eager to work at a more thoughtful pace, with fewer artistic compromises. I have not yet decided on future projects, but my relationship with Universal Press Syndicate will continue.

That so many newspapers would carry Calvin and Hobbes is an honor I’ll long be proud of, and I’ve greatly appreciated your support and indulgence over the last decade. Drawing this comic strip has been a privilege and a pleasure, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity.

Sincerely,
Bill Watterson

I love Google's logos!
Vote for your favorite kid's doodle for google here: http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html

and I've found an archive of all of Google's doodles!
they're here: http://www.google.com/logos/

Some of my favorites (hover for info):

it's amazing how much better the logos are now, compared to in 1998! It's also cool to see how much more free they've been with the Google design--back in 2001, even though there were doodles, they all had the same colors and font as the original Google logo!

MY FAVORITE MAGAZINE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!

2009-12-07T23:24:14Z

this is honestly THE best magazine out there. My favorite magazine, anyway :)

Two more fonts by me :)

2009-12-06T21:34:27Z

I love making fonts.

CLICK preview below TO DOWNLOAD:

yay two more fonts by me (first two in this set are new)! the cursive is called faux cursive because they don't connect very well, although if you use photoshop and set the letter spacing between the letters to be -100px, it works pretty well (as I've done in the example above)

CREATE YOUR OWN FONT!

2009-12-06T01:58:54Z

my own font:
YISHUI

Vintage Kiddy songs!

2009-07-13T00:03:09Z

I stumbled across the best site I've been to in a long time-- KiddyRecords.com!

About them

Kiddie Records Weekly began in 2005 as a one year project devoted to the golden age of children's records. This period spanned from the mid forties through the early fifties and produced a wealth of all-time classics. Many of these recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers.

Over the years, these forgotten treasures slipped off the radar and it became our mission to give them a new lease on life by sharing them with today's generation of online listeners. Each week throughout the year we'll add a new recording. We took a break in 2008, returning in 2009 for one final year.

I love the artwork that comes with each treasure, so unique and precious. But the best part of this site?? They have hundreds of albums/ records for download-- all FREE! It's super great and I love snagging the Christmas ones especially (I'm obsessed with Christmas music)
