Are you kidding me? Waterson gets upset when a compilation is put out. He's never allowed any merchandise of any kind (I want a Hobbes stuffed tiger!), and is adamantly opposed to anything that could be remotely construed as commercial.
He feels he doesn't want to cheapen Calvin and Hobbes in any way. I feel he's going too far and not allowing even true fans a small pleasure.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
