Calvin and Hobbes Creator Returning With The Mysteries a Fable For Grown-Ups

Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip that quickly gained notoriety for its anti-authoritarian views. The adventures of young boy Calvin with his stuffed tiger were both humorous and insightful.

Since 1995, Watterson's strip has ceased publication and he has mostly disappeared from public view. He hasn't granted many interviews or published any major works since then, though he did create some one-off comics and illustrations in 2014.

The Mysteries is a Fable for Grown-Ups

Nearly 30 years after Bill Watterson's final Calvin and Hobbes comic strip ran in thousands of newspapers, the legendary cartoonist is back with a brand-new graphic novel titled The Mysteries. Written by Watterson and illustrated by caricaturist John Kascht, The Mysteries follows in Watterson's footsteps.

Simon and Schuster describe the book's plot as following a long-ago kingdom beset with unexplainable wonders. To put an end to these tragedies, the king dispatches his knights to uncover what is causing these strange happenings. Years later though, an aged knight returns to the kingdom and causes havoc for everyone involved.

The Mysteries is an exciting graphic novel for adults to check out. Featuring stunning illustrations by Watterson and Kascht, as well as its unique storybook format, The Mysteries promises to be an exciting read!

Though not as humorous as Calvin and Hobbes, The Mysteries is still an enjoyable read for adults to enjoy. Fans of the comic strip will also be pleased with it since it follows a familiar plot line and features Watterson's trademark humor.

Watterson's first major endeavor since his comic strip ended in 1995 is The Mysteries. While he has drawn some one-off strips and illustrated books like Stephan Pastis' Pearls Before Swine, The Mysteries marks his first significant endeavor in nearly 30 years.

Calvin and Hobbes is quite different than The Mysteries. Instead of the typical cartoon adventures Watterson's comic strip has become known for, The Mysteries follows a young girl named Gitty who lives on a farm during the 1980s.

Gitty is only 9 years old, so the movie's plot may not be as clearly-cut or polished as one might expect. Nonetheless, the movie is beautifully shot and contains some heartwarming moments.

The film offers a magical perspective, reminding us of fables. Though not fully coherent, it still manages to include plenty of humor and drama.

Finally, The Mysteries is an captivating modern fairytale that takes the perspective of a young girl as she explores the world around her. It's beautifully imagined and composed with stunning visuals; for anyone who appreciates fairytales, this must-see is a must-watch.

Bill Watterson and John Kascht’s Collaboration Is a Work of Art

Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, and John Kascht - one of America's renowned caricaturists - offer us an enigmatically illustrated tale about what lies beyond human comprehension.

On October 10, Andrew McMeel and Simon & Schuster will release The Mysteries, featuring 72 pages of illustrations by Watterson and Kascht. Each two-page spread includes brief narration from the book's storyline on the left page, followed by a large illustration from within it on the right.

There's not a lot of information available about Watterson and Kascht's new graphic novel, but some preview images on the publisher's site give readers an idea of what to expect. The first eight pages tell a tale of a long-ago kingdom beset with mysterious events; its characters are described as "knights who sought a way to stop these terrible happenings."

It seems like The Mysteries would make an ideal graphic novel storyline. Watterson has always been known for his dark, sometimes harrowing storytelling style, and The Mysteries looks set to follow suit.

According to Andrew McMeel's website description of The Mysteries, Kascht and Watterson worked together in "unusually close collaboration" for several years, abandoning their previous methods to create each drawing individually. The end result is an elegant yet haunting illustration style that perfectly complements the storyline presented in this tale.

Kascht is a renowned caricaturist who has immortalized thousands of famous faces through the years, appearing on book covers, billboards, theater marquees and more. Additionally, he has created sketches for Oprah Magazine, MAD Magazine and public television programs.

He and Watterson have collaborated on numerous projects in the past, such as a poster for Stripped, daily strips for Stephan Pastis' Pearls Before Swine, and artwork for a benefit auction to benefit cartoonist Richard Thompson's Parkinson's disease. However, it has been nearly two decades since Watterson last drew anything full-length.

Watterson's return to public visibility with The Mysteries is no small feat, and we get a chance to see him at his more mature best. It also gives us an exclusive peek into Watterson's future projects as an iconic comic strip author.
