Page "Bill Watterson" Paragraph 20

He will not sign autographs or license his characters, staying true to his stated principles.

In previous years, he was known to sneak autographed copies of his books onto the shelves of the Fireside Bookshop, a family-owned bookstore in his home of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

However, after discovering that some people were selling the autographed books online for high prices, he ended this practice as well.

Valuing privacy, he is very reluctant to give interviews or make public appearances.

His lengthiest interview was featured as the cover story in The Comics Journal # 127 in the late 1980s.

He drew a new Calvin and Hobbes cover for that issue of the magazine as well.
