It's really too bad. But where did he go? Wouldn't he have published
more books by now? Someone I know, and does not lie, claims to be related
to Bill Waterson. A distant cousin, or something. There is no reason to
doubt this, so I believe it. The person said that he (Bill Waterson) was in
the process of writing some sort of auto-biography or something similar, but
this was a while ago. If you notice, in one of his last books he wrote many
comments about certain panels and work as a cartoonist in general. But the
reason his cartoon isn't still in newspapers is probably because the panels
were so big. There just wouldn't be room for it.
