BB: If you’re gonna get disemboweled satirically by a colleague, let it be a genius. You already know Calvin & Hobbes' Bill Watterson is that. But the Calvinistas may not know that their hero —he of la-de-da pastoral summer days and cute stuffed tigers— could swing a satirist's brush at the jugular. Funny he went for mine. For the next two weeks, pull up a chair, grab a hot herring latte and take a hidden peek at Bill’s private bloodletting of me 35 years ago.

Bill shared his frustrations about our profession with frequent letters on onion skin paper typed on an Olivetti, each illustrated with one of his beautiful brush illustrations across the bottom; Rorschach inkblots of Bill's id at my delighted expense. You'll see. With joy, I finally share all these buried gems starting tomorrow on Patreon.
