Bill Watterson

    5 juli 1958

    Bill Watterson is een Amerikaanse cartoonist, gevierd om zijn onderscheidende stijl en inzichtelijke verkenningen binnen het medium van de strip. Hij beëindigde zijn gesyndiceerde werk na een decennium, omdat hij het gevoel had de artistieke grenzen van het format te hebben bereikt. Watterson staat bekend om zijn uitgesproken standpunten tegen licenties en commercialisering, waarbij hij creatieve controle en artistieke integriteit boven alles stelt.
