Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Watterson

The Hidden Struggles Behind Comics: C.J. Standal Explores the True Cost of the Industry For most fans, comics are magic. Colorful worlds. Incredible heroes. Epic adventures. But behind every comic book page lies a reality most readers never see. Late nights. Creative battles. Financial uncertainty. And a constant tug-of-war between artistic passion and economic survival. That's exactly what writer C.J. Standal explores in his powerful new book Comics: The Call and the Cost, a thought-provoking collection of essays examining the history and struggles of comic book creators. Standal returns to the Comic Crusaders Podcast with host Al Mega to dive deep into the stories behind the medium. Originally written for the Cartoonist Cooperative Journal, these essays explore the deeper forces shaping the comics industry. The book tackles topics like: • The history of the comic book labor movement • The intersection of art and capitalism • The sacrifices creators make for their craft • The real-life politics surrounding comics creation One of the most fascinating essays in the collection, "The Cost of Comics: A History of the Comic Book Labor Movement," reveals the often overlooked battles creators have fought for recognition and fair compensation. Another essay explores the artistic and business philosophies of legendary creators Charles Schulz, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterson, examining how each navigated the complex relationship between creativity and corporate influence. Standal's work reminds readers that comics are more than entertainment. They are the product of dedication, resilience, and artistic conviction. The book will be available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats, with narration by Nancy Bober bringing the essays to life in a new medium. For fans of The Comics Journal, TwoMorrows, and comics scholarship, this is an essential read. But even casual readers will find themselves gaining a deeper appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to making comics. Because behind every panel… There's a creator answering the call—no matter the cost.

La historia de la Unión Soviética puede explicarse a través de sus grandes maestros del ajedrez. Analizar las partidas del siglo XX es una pequeña clase de geopolítica, desde la de Spassky contra Fischer en Reikiavik en plena Guerra Fría hasta la de Kasparov contra Karpov en Moscú, ya en los últimos años de ese totalitario régimen. Hubo campeones que fueron la viva imagen de los valores deseados en el pueblo, como el disciplinado Botvinnik, y otros que mostraron su desacuerdo con el brutal sistema, como el disidente Korchnoi. Desde las sanguinarias purgas de Stalin hasta la Perestroika de Gorbachev, todas las etapas de ese fallido experimento político tendrían a su particular campeón. Está todo allí representado. El podcast de hoy, con el siempre genial Rami, es la clase de historia que me hubiera gustado recibir en el instituto.Antiguos episodios:K54. Ramiro Castillo. Economía en viñetas.Corralito #4 ft.

Martí Perarnau y David Llorens salían todos los lunes en el Tú diràs de Jordi Basté. Yo tenía quince años y aunque el programa deportivo de RAC1 terminaba a la una de la madrugada me quedaba despierto porque ya sabía, o por lo menos intuía, que esas historias serían de más provecho que la lección de un profesor desmotivado la mañana siguiente en el instituto. «We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school». Los lunes leía también las Historias del Calcio de Enric González en El País y lo que me gustaba de todos esos periodistas es que trataran al oyente de forma adulta, que me descubrieran las más fascinantes anécdotas. Yo tendría unos quince años y justo empezaba a configurar mi visión del mundo, pero si hoy Kapital existe es gracias a personas como Martí. Aprendemos por imitación y yo solo quería un amigo con ese fino sentido del humor, que me contaran esas vivencias en una cena. Es curiosa la vida. Te haces mayor y un día recibes un mensaje. «Soy oyente de tu podcast y me gustaría mandarte un libro». Las cosas un día llegan, como llegan las cosas en la vida, cuando ya no las esperas. Las cosas llegan aunque no puedas explicarlas, si fuiste en tu camino honesto. Las cosas llegan porque un chico tomó la decisión, cuando tenía quince años, de escuchar la radio a escondidas, porque quería un amigo como Martí.Kapital es posible gracias a sus colaboradores:⁠Crescenta⁠.

 CALVIN & HOBBES. Yea, that’s probably all we need to say right? The amazing strip by Bill Watterson that ran for only a decade but changed the face of comics and comic strips is STILL revered to this day. And we’re gonna talk the $%#& out of it. It’s philosophical origins, the newspaper strip business, Watterson’s fights with the syndicate (not the mob), contemporaries of the time, and realizing that Calvin’s Dad is really cool.

There are two major exhibits now on display at Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York through the end of the year.The exhibit “Exploring Calvin and Hobbes” revisits the beloved comic strip created by Bill Watterson from 1985 to 1995. It explores his mastery of the comic strip art form through engaging characters, thoughtful writing, and creative layouts.Also on display, “Romare Bearden: Artist-Activist-Visionary.” Drawn from the Romare Bearden Foundation Collection, the exhibition examines how Bearden agitated for change through images and writing.

"...Hatred of evil should constrain you to right, not fear. When her anger is kindled by injustice, goodness changes her form...."This week, I'm reading from the Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, a Roman Slave, written during the 1st century BC. Reflection question:If you are experiencing a funding obstacle, how are you creating a positive message for your potential campaign donors?Reflection on quote:During times of uncertainty, there are two opposite errors in our campaign messaging that we can fall into.  We start blaming others and encourage rage giving to our capital campaign.  Or, we create desperate pleas for emergency giving with the implicit threat that project will fail with the donations.  This week, I will be reflecting on weaknesses with rage giving and, next week, with emergency giving.  So, let's reflect on rage giving. My favorite cartoon is Calvin and Hobbes.  On July 7, 1995, the cartoonist Bill Watterson published a particularly apt description of a trend in fundraising.  While I encourage you to view the cartoon and I have placed the link in the show notes, let me read the captions. Calvin states, “I'm writing a fund-raising letter.  The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy.  Then you explain how they're systemically working to destroy everything you hold dear.  It's a war of values! Rational discussion is hopeless!  Compromise is unthinkable! Our only help is well-funded antagonism to keep up the fight.  Hobbes replies. How cynically unconstructive.  Calvin responds, Enmity sells.”  Enmity in fundraising does sell.  The short-term gains by creating enemies and fear are measurable, but long-term is very unprofitable as some wisdom from the past shows us. We can get angry when a key grant or donation is cancelled mid-construction without any cause or notice.  We can get angry at the reason for the funding to be cancelled, especially when it is seemingly for an inhumane or nefarious purpose.  Yet, there can be some advantage and with patience that advantage will reveal its hidden riches.  The advantage could be greater community support to fill the gap.  So, as we message through a funding loss, it's important to shift any enmity in our messaging to positive outcome that our donor base can embrace.  Although rage giving result in short-term increases in donations, enmity excludes potential donors; whereas, goodness in our messaging can expand the donor base.  With this expanded donor base, we see long-term sustainability in ongoing giving after the capital campaign is over.This work has entered the public domain.What do you think?

I år er det 40 år siden at Bill Watterson udgav serien Calvin & Hobbes, der kørte i perioden fra 1985 til 1995 og udkom på dansk som Steen og Stoffer og er en af de helt store klassikere. Man kan med seriens egne ord sige, at verden i dag mere end nogensinde har brug for et los i røven. Vi kigger nærmere på drengen og tigeren, for at se hvad serien kan sige os om at være menneske (og tøjdyr) i den tid, vi lever i nu og hvad der giver den integritet, der gør den til noget helt særligt. Vi nærlæser værket Rackham style, analyser dens streg, fortælleteknik og perspektiverer til både Thomas Aquinas og Radiohead! Med i episoden er Emma Firestone, der har en phd i Shakespeare og tidlig engelsk litteratur, så vi switcher et par gange og transmogriffer between engelsk and Danish. Så lyt med, vi synes med vanlig beskedenhed, at det er en af de bedste afsnit vi har lavet, hæhæ

On this episode, Liv Hoselton, an indie bookseller in Chicago, talks about their impulse to dive deep into the horrors of the world to better understand them, how their teachers and librarians were so impactful for their reading life, and one of our shared favorites that kids just aren't interested in (much to our chagrin). I anticipate you'll also be surprised at how engrossing Liv's description of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald is and it might make you want to read that book.    Books mentioned in this episode:    What Betsy's reading:  North Woods by Daniel Mason Uzumaki by Junji Ito  Summerdale II by David Jay Collins    Books Highlighted by Liv: The Einstein of Sex by Daniel Brook Murderland by Caroline Fraser  The Gales of November by John U.

"...God blesses those people who make peace. They will be called his children!..."This week, I am reading the words of Jesus and His approach to opponents from Matthew 5 and 6.View the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon about Enmity and Fundraising Letters from July 7, 1995.Reflection questions:If you were to give your fundraising appeal to an opponent to read, how would they respond?  Would the letter be consider fair?  Considerate?  Even loving?When you are speaking with a donor about an opponent of your mission, are you portraying the opponent in the best possible light even if you are outlining policy or tactical disagreements?  Reflection on quote:My favorite cartoon is Calvin and Hobbes.  On July 7, 1995, the cartoonist Bill Watterson published a particularly apt description of a trend in fundraising.  While I encourage you to view the cartoon and I have placed the link in the show notes, let me read the captions. Calvin states, “I'm writing a fund-raising letter.  The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy.  Then you explain how they're systemically working to destroy everything you hold dear.  It's a war of values! Rational discussion is hopeless!  Compromise is unthinkable! Our only help is well-funded antagonism to keep up the fight.  Hobbes replies. How cynically unconstructive.  Calvin responds, Enmity sells.”  Enmity in fundraising does sell.  The short-term gains by creating enemies and fear are measurable.  Yet, in the long-term, true generosity suffers. As I record this week's podcast, the United States is in political turmoil.  And, unfortunately, there are those in fundraising who will take the opportunity to double-down on enmity in their fundraising copy.  And, I'm genuinely grieved when I read these fundraising appeals where people are made to be the enemy.  People are never the enemy.  We can disagree about policies and tactics.  But, when we make people the enemy instead, we are creating fear among our donors with their own neighbors and in doing so we break down societal and community bonds.  This not only hurts our opponents, but it will do long term damage to generosity and our own organizations.The text of Matthew 5 and 6 have entered the public domain.What do you think?To explore fundraising coaching deeper and to schedule an exploratory session, visit ServingNonprofits.com.Music credit: Woeisuhmebop

In theory, we meant to talk about Dog City (part of the Jim Henson Hour) but instead we ended up talking about the muppets in general, the Jim Henson hour, the origin of homo sapiens and the inevitable death of our species because of billionaires, and also how lazy Bill Watterson is.

Was Calvin And Hobbes the greatest comic strip ever? Or maybe a great work of art of the 20th Century? Why did Bill Watterson disappear? Was Calvin "good" (morally)? Was Hobbes "real"? Why were there never any toys? Would we ever really want Calvin and Hobbes to come back?With special guest @kibblesmith!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The General Social Survey has been conducted every second year since 1972 and the most recent one contained both good and bad news about us. GOOD NEWS: Our bonds with our families and friends are as strong as ever.BAD NEWS: The bridges we once extended to strangers have collapsed.Jesus talks about a socially unacceptable “Samaritan” man who sacrificed his time, energy, and money to help an unconscious stranger who had been robbed and left to die at the side of the road. According to Jesus, two different religious people had already seen the wounded man, but crossed over to the other side of the road so they could pretend they hadn't seen him.They saw a stranger in need and felt nothing.Empathy – feeling the pain of others – is the price we pay for being fully human.The internet promised to bring us closer together through instantaneous, worldwide, one-on-one communication.But then came the algorithms, those digital sheepdogs that segregate us into echo chambers where every voice we hear sounds exactly like our own.The easiest way to build an online audience – or a church – is to criticize and demonize “them,” the people who are “not like you… not like us.” Algorithms will help you do this. All you have to do is craft a message that says, “All the world's problems are caused by ‘them,' and it is up to ‘us' to save the future, and America, and the world, from ‘them.'”You don't build bridges to people that you believe are “getting what they deserve.”Generosity and Inclusion are the tools of peacemakers.“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” – JesusDavid Brooks recently posted a YouTube video that will make you feel wonderful and give you hope.I hope you will invest the time to watch it. In fact, I challenge you to watch the first 3 minutes. The odds are extremely high that you will happily choose to watch the remaining 18 minutes.That YouTube video is titled “David Brooks: Making People Feel Seen: How to Do It Right.”I'm betting it will be your favorite 21 minutes of the week.It will also be a signal to the algorithm that you are headed in a new direction.Merry Christmas.– Roy H. Williams“If people looked at the stars each night, they'd live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.” – Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

We now come to The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium Set 3, practically the halfway point of seven planned sets from Andrews McMeel aiming to reprint the entire run of Bill Watterson's iconic comic strip, albeit in miniature form. Once again, I'd recommend going back in time and reading (or re-reading?) my review of the first set, if only because the history of Watterson's battles with his syndicate helps put both his beloved strip - and these new editions - in some context.

In this episode of the NIA podcast, Trung dives deep into the world of Calvin and Hobbes, the iconic comic strip created by the brilliant Bill Watterson.

Calvin and Hobbes may be the greatest comic strip ever. But there's a problem. Its creator, Bill Watterson, quit after only ten years. At age 38. Did Watterson squander his incredible talent? Matt thinks so. Mandy and Christina aren't so sure. Together, they discuss whether artists have a responsibility to share their talent with others.    

Calvin and Hobbes is one of the most timeless comic strips in American history, but is there anything we can learn from Bill Watterson's masterpiece in the financial realm? Turns out there is, and Mark will draw on wisdom from the comic to highlight several quotes that offer valuable lessons for financial planning.   Here's what we discuss in today's show: Preparing in advance for some of those financial surprises. Having a sound investing strategy. Making sure your retirement income keeps pace with inflation. Getting ahead on your retirement plan.   Want to get in touch with Mark?  Web: https://silverman-associates.com/home Email: mark@silverman-associates.com Phone: 520.512.8832

The Days are Just Packed by Bill Watterson, came out in 1993. For Bryant, he was collecting as many of these volumes containg the adventures of Calvin and Hobbes as he could. Visual mediums powerfully share big, sometimes uncomfortable, and often whimsical truths. Bryant was drawn to the iconic art and the way Hobbes, Calvin's stuffed tiger, takes on a personality of his own when only Calvin is around. In their adventures, Bryant found wonder and new frontiers through reading. Watterson's two protagonists have a lot to share with us: anoying teachers, big questions in all life stages, and of course -- soaking the next door neighbor with a waterballoon. Join us as we revisit this iconic duo and think back to your own experiences with comics, any that you still remember?

In my review of set one of the Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium releases (the first of seven planned sets, mind you) I gave a brief history of how Bill Watterson would create one of the most beloved comic strips of all-time, in such a short time, only to become exhausted by its creation and the demands of an industry that wanted more from him. He would only return to the form sporadically for charitable reasons or (with John Kascht) for experimental books like last year's The Mysteries.

Bill Watterson’s new book starts the conversation off, then goes into the work of Fell Hound, Vault Comics, dollar box finds, kid’s comics from the past and the multiverse in mainstream comics. We talked so much we skipped the music … Continue reading →

In the Monday Morning Memo for Oct. 10, 2022, I wrote,“Do you want to be one of the world's great ad writers? Don't read ads. Read the poems, short stories and novels written by the winners of the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes in Literature.”My friend Tom Grimes – the waterboy of Amarillo – texted me this insightful correction:“I've heard you teach in class that magicians, stand-up comedians and the creators of comic strips always structure their storytelling in that same tight economy of words used by the world's great poets. ‘And then what happened, and then what happened, and then what happened…'”I stand corrected. Thank you, Tom.Yes, comedians, magicians, and the creators of comics are three different types of writers who know how to capture and hold our attention, just as the world's great poets have done for centuries. These writers show us possible futures, imaginary pasts, or an exaggerated present; realities that exist entirely in our imaginations.And they do it in a brief, tight, economy of words.Likewise, the best ad writers take us on journeys that begin and end quickly, but leave us altered, changed, modified, different.I don't list AI in my pantheon of persuasive writers for the same reason that I don't list the makers of movies.Great movies are created from great plays and great books. Even Disney's animated cartoon adventuresbegin with great stories.Stories are written by writers.The actors, directors, and illustrators who portray those stories are called artists and they are assisted by technicians. Artists and technicians don't write the stories; they adapt stories to fit a format and then show them to us.AI is not a writer. AI is an artist and a technician.Dune was written by Frank Herbert 59 years ago and has sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. Artists and technicians adapted it into a 1984 film, a 2000 television miniseries, and then a major motion picture in 2021 with a sequel that was released in theaters just last week.The Lord of the Rings was written by Tolkien and adapted by artists and technicians.The Godfather was written by Puzo and adapted by artists and technicians.Harry Potter was written by Rowling and adapted by artists and technicians.Charles Schultz, Bill Watterson, Neil Gaiman, Stan Lee, Scott McCloud and Tom Fishburne are writers who tell stories in comic panels.Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Ellen DeGeneres and Dave Chappelle are writers who tell stories in short bursts while standing behind a microphone.Penn and Teller, Siegried and Roy, David Blaine, Brian Brushwood, David Copperfield and Nate Staniforth are writers who stand on stage and tell stories while proving that you cannot believe your eyes or trust your logical mind.Ian Fleming, Cormac McCarthy, Stephen King, Truman Capote, and Elmore Leonard are writers who tell stories using only words.Artists and technicians adapt their stories for stage, film, and video.Shakespeare wrote 38 stories that artists and technicians have adapted for the past 450 years. The artists who gave faces and voices to Shakespeare's characters include Judi Dench, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Kenneth Branagh, David Tarrant, Derek Jacobi and Peter O'Toole.We have writers.

Guest Daniel Nayeri joins Jessica to talk about their shared love for Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes. In the discussion, a theory is posited that as we move towards a more and more visual culture (i.e., graphic novels, prestige television, and YouTube), Calvin & Hobbes marks the ascendancy of that visual medium and the decline of the traditional novel.

This week the boys are up to their usual... If you want to know about the film, then find a YouTube review. If you want to listen to a bunch of ramblings from 4 middle aged men, then you're at the right place. "Dave Made a Maze," directed by Bill Watterson and released in 2017, is a whimsical and imaginative indie film that blends comedy, fantasy, and adventure. The story revolves around Dave, played by Nick Thune, who builds a fantastical cardboard maze in his living room, only to find himself trapped inside its ever-expanding labyrinth. When his girlfriend Annie, portrayed by Meera Rohit Kumbhani, returns home to find the situation, she gathers a group of friends to venture into the maze and rescue Dave. What unfolds is a surreal and comedic journey filled with inventive set designs, whimsical creatures, and unexpected challenges. The film cleverly explores themes of creativity, escapism, and the unpredictable nature of artistic endeavours. What makes "Dave Made a Maze" stand out is its unique visual style and the sheer creativity of its production design. The cardboard maze is a fantastical, ever-evolving wonderland that blends DIY charm with surreal and absurd elements. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, using humor and a touch of satire to explore the quirky intersection of creativity and the unpredictable consequences of bringing one's imagination to life. "Dave Made a Maze" is a refreshing and inventive addition to the indie film landscape, offering a delightful and imaginative experience that resonates with audiences who appreciate unconventional storytelling and offbeat humour.

It's been almost 30 years since cartoonist Bill Watterson stepped away from producing Calvin and Hobbes, and the world still doesn't seem to be over it. With the exception of the occasional interview or cartooning themed fundraising effort, he's become the most famous artistic recluse since J.

Bill Watterson observed that there is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do. With the right scheduling habits, though, maybe there can be. Amy and Mike invited educator Rebecca Rauscher to share best practices for making time visible. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What does it really mean (concretely) to “Make Time Visible”?  Why is this such a big issue for students more so today than ever before?  What are some strategies and ideas for making time visible?   Is there an ideal day or time to create calendars and checklists? Are there instances where MTV is unhelpful or detrimental? MEET OUR GUEST With over 30 years of experience as an educator and the founder of Focal-Point Consulting, Rebecca Rauscher, MS Ed. understands the importance of developing and fostering both executive function skills and study techniques with clients of all ages and abilities. As an educator in the public schools, she shared her love of learning with her students, colleagues, and the families with whom she worked. She brings a genuine passion for learning and enthusiasm to her work with students from high school through grad school, as well as with individuals who need to build or strengthen their executive function skills. Rebecca has consistently fostered and built relationships with not only her students, but their parents and caregivers as well. Her unique, creative approach to learning truly helps her clients with academic success and the development of skills necessary for learning and life. Rebecca is passionate about helping others gain the techniques and strategies that allow her clients to fulfill their unique ambitions, goals, and dreams—to foster their own sense of purpose and creativity with greater success and outcomes.  Rebecca earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Rochester with a double major in  Spanish and Political Science. She went on to obtain her master's degree in education from SUNY Brockport with an extension in bilingual education.

Épisode #9Avec Lucile Gomez j'aborderai les thèmes suivants (extrait des questions) : Les futurs parents sont-ils assez informés et ont-ils les bonnes informations ?Est-il facile de trouver un juste milieu entre le tout médical ou le tout naturel ?Comment expliquez-vous que naissance et souffrance soient encore liées dans notre inconscient collectif ?Que sont les « phallunettes » dont vous parlez ?Pourquoi le néocortex est-il l'ennemi de la femme enceinte ?Quels sont vos conseils pour vivre au mieux le 3ème trimestre de grossesse et la « phase de préparation » ?Qu'est-ce qui se passe dans la tête de la future maman durant la phase de nidification ?Qui est mon invitée Lucile Gomez ? : Lucile Gomez est une illustratrice et autrice de bande dessinée française. Après la naissance de son premier enfant, en 2014, Lucile Gomez écoute les récits de mères qui ont vécu un accouchement médicalisé et compare avec la présentation de l'accouchement physiologique. Ces approches nourrissent un diptyque, « La naissance en BD », dont le premier volume paraît en 2020 chez Mama éditions : « Découvrez vos super pouvoirs ! ». La même année, elle participe à la fondation de la maison d'édition participative Exemplaire. Parmi ses influences, Lucile Gomez cite Claire Bretécher, André Franquin, Jean-Jacques Sempé, Bill Watterson et Frederik Peeters. Elle dessine au crayon avant de réaliser les couleurs par ordinateur. En 2021, le best-seller La Naissance en BD revient, avec un tome 2 Amplifiez vos super pouvoirs encore plus ludique et débordant de conseils.Quelques citations du podcast avec Lucile Gomez : "On est toujours trop ou pas assez, on a vraiment a intégré cette idée qu'il n'y avait qu'une façon d'être une femme et que c'était la seule possible.""L'important ce sont les connaissances sur la physiologie, ce sont celles qui nous manque énormément.""L'accouchement c'est le moment où on devrait se sentir 100% mammifère.""Faire des respirations profondes et lentes avec le ventre aide vraiment le bébé à descendre."Retrouvez Métamorphose Podcast sur Insta & FacebookInscrivez-vous à la Newsletter ici : https://www.metamorphosepodcast.com/Découvrez gratuitement La Roue Métamorphose et les 9 piliers de votre vie !Soutenez la Tribu Métamorphose, devenez actifs !Abonnez-vous à Métamorphose, le podcast qui éveille la conscience sur YouTube / Apple Podcast / Spotify / Deezer / Google Podcasts / CastBoxPhoto © Alain Potignon Hébergé par Acast.
