I refuse to acknowledge that it's possible for Bill Watterson to die.

i can only hope that his gravestone will eventually have a decal of calvin pissing on something

God, I can’t wait to be entombed with Billy Watterson.

If anyone deserves a statue its Hobbes.

Well thanks for putting in my head I’m going to have to read Bill Watterson’s obituary one day. As per usual, you’re my favorite person that bums me the hell out.

Scott Adams once tried to dox me for mocking the Dilbertito, Watterson conversely has lived in the shadows and said nothing It is not a hard choice

By which you imply there was a reaction to the death of Scott Adams.

Robert do not give me this heart attack

One time Bill Watterson came to an improv show I was in when I was like 20, and he was so wonderful and kind. Made a NE Ohio geek's night. Our whole cast basically lost their minds with joy...quietly-ish.

Gary Larson I could see a mass entombment a la the terra cotta warriors of Qin Shui Huang only they're all posed with alligators and cows. For Watterson it will be all of the snowmen.

Brutus Buckeye will stand eternal watch

When it does happen I feel like we're going to find out five days later when someone stumbles upon his four line obituary in a small newspaper

Fuck me, 20+ years later I still remember where I was when I found out he ended Calvin and Hobbes. I expect to be a mess when he passes

He’ll lie on his royal sled.

Bill Watterson, definitely, all hail him. But what about Gary Larson then?

Emphasis on the “eventual“ there, brothe. But yes. We’re here in Ohio making little Hobbes ushabti.

Man I read that a little too quickly the first time and was like OH NO

If they’re in Ohio, are they truly alive in the first place?

Like I get there's a lot going on right now, but it really felt like nobody gave a shit when it was announced hey

My son loved Calvin and Hobbes so much that one year he went as X-387…

All Midwesterners, really

I don't want to think about his death :(

A thought I had walking my baby around today: "when he asks what is absolutely necessary from my generation's pop culture, I will tell him to check out Calvin and Hobbes and the Coen Brothers and everything else is pretty optional."

And buried with his bike

For some reason my brain pictured Adam Scott when I read Scott Adams’ name and I was extremely distraught for two terrible seconds!

Also apparently Gary Larson is still alive

I expect statues, honestly.

Yeah, Scott Adams…..

I will lay the first brick of his grand mausoleum. May it reach the stars.

I will be inconsolable.

As an Ohioan, I'll accept this fate

Ditto Gary Larson.

I was hoping you'd have a comment on Scott Adams. It makes me even happier that you made me think of Calvin & Hobbes.

Win some, lose some

Ironically something he’d hate to his core too

So scott adams died? Meh.

😢

You know what there's worse we could be forced to serve in the afterlife considering we gave the nation Vance. I'll take it.

When Larson dies I’m breaking out the cow tools and taking my country back

I should really move then if that's the case.

He plus Berkeley Breathed (still with us) and Gary Larson form the Holy Trinity.

noo I live here

That’s right

ALL of Ohio? Inshallah, brother.

Bill Watterson is the one man who is not allowed to die

weirdos will never be the same in a world without Larson

As would only be benefitting, if fervently unwished for on Bill Watterson's part- if only because he'd be dead first. 68 is a good run, if slightly short of the threescore and ten.

We sure we want to send him to the afterlife with modern Ohioans. Feels like a punishment if im being honest.

There's no doubt in my mind that I'll hear it from multiple people when Bill Watterson and Bill Amend pass. 8 days after Scott Adams dies and this is how I find out.

Bill Watterson isn't going to die

Obviously the Shadow Games will be Calvinball, but what will the Millenium Items from this be like?

He should be buried next to Scott Adams. And there should be Ford logo on Adam's grave marker.

I’m *so curious* about which white shoe firm has Bill’s business to draft the world’s most ironclad “and don’t you sell my shit after I’m dead” trust for Bill’s estate

I used to be in a Calvin and Hobbes group and it's pretty wild how many of those people totally missed the whole point of the strip 😅

Same with Gary Larsen

It's amazing how low the bar is to not be a piece of shit, and likewise amazing that so few clear it.

Ngl that would be the right thing to do

The global minute of Calvinball.

Aw shit, I'm heading until 2028. Really need him to hang on

So let it be written, so let it be done.

genuinely we are blessed to have lived in the same era as him.

That might be worth moving to Ohio for.

We had a good run.

I will make a pilgrimage to pay my respects.

I love that it took days for me to even know he died, and only did because of people talking about his lunacy the last few years, not because anyone gives a shit about Dilbert.

It would be an honor to be ceremoniously buried alongside such a legend

What I find telling is how the deaths of so many of the MAGA idols are forgotten almost immediately. Limbaugh, Kirk, Adams... it turns out people are just addicted to the hate they promote and nothing else. Once they die they can easily be replaced with one of the 30 clones spewing the same shit.

Holy shit, I thought he was dead. He's socially a ghost and so many people talked about him in past tense around me for years that I thought he passed when I was younger.

bill watterson will never die

I mean... There's definitely worse ways/reasons to be entombed alive.

he's the GOAT and it's not close

Bill Watterson brought my childhood so much happiness and laughter. It'll be a tragic day when he passes.

I used to like Dilbert I played Dilbert's Desktop Games!

Buried with an army of mutant terracotta snowmen.

He didn’t sell merch, so 30 years ago my mom made Hobbes for my nephew; my husband loved it so much she made another one for him!

It’s for the best

A fitting end to this state, to be sure.

Let's start entombing Ohio now.
