HOBBES: All this modern technology just makes people try to do everything at once.

If I had rolled along with the strip's popularity and repeated myself for another five, 10 or 20 years, the people now "grieving" for "Calvin and Hobbes" would be wishing me dead.

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help.

I don't enjoy lettering very much, but that's the way I write and that belongs in the strip because the strip is a reflection of me.

I chose to tell the story visually, so that anyone of any age, from any country, could understand it.

Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension.

Tomorrow we'll not only seize the day, we'll throttle it.
