I downloaded a sample chapter to my phone so I could read it on my subway ride home. But a promise is a promise so I owed it to the Publisher to at least read the book. What would I do then? Pretend I would review it but “never get around to it”? Or be forced to write a review about a book I didn’t like? It was a moral dilemma to say the least.

And he had a great sense of humor about the strip I had done, and was very funny, and oh yeah…. Bill Watterson really exists? And he sends email? And he’s communicating with me?īut he was. Just getting an email from Bill Watterson is one of the most mind-blowing, surreal experiences I have ever had. So I emailed him the strip and thanked him for all his great work and the influence he’d had on me. I said I didn’t want to bother him.īut a week or so later, this Pearls strip ran in the newspaper:Īnd I figured this was as good of a time to write to him as any. Or more likely, wanted nothing to do with me.īut Nick encouraged me to send an email to Bill anyways. And Nick in turn wrote to Watterson.īill apparently had something to do.
