I've seen plenty of Hollywood releases that made me think "What a cynical attempt to cash in", and/or "How utterly lacking in artistic thought or originality". But this is the rare, truly mind-boggling, "WHO thought this was a good idea?!"

If they decide to attempt a Calvin and Hobbes movie, I will personally bomb Hollywood.

I'd like to see Tim Burton do a Calvin and Hobbes movie, actually.

Not much chance of that. Watterson was always pretty tough on the idea of any merchandising. I'm sure he has endured two decades of offers at this point, and he hasn't given in yet.

Well, then he'll die, and his heirs will sell out quick enough.

Considering the pains he went to in order to secure his work from merchandising in the first place, I think that's almost a certainty. But then, who knows? Maybe he won't begrudge his heirs the money it would bring.

If I were him, I'd have a lot of fun by putting the work in the public domain when he died.
