Art: ...and now to something completely different: Wisdom!










Here you'll find also an interesting Interview with creator Bill Watterson for Cleveland.com . It's the first interview since '89. I like:

"Because your work touched so many people, fans feel a connection to you, like they know you. They want more of your work, more Calvin, another strip, anything. It really is a sort of rock star/fan relationship. Because of your aversion to attention, how do you deal with that even today? And how do you deal with knowing that it's going to follow you for the rest of your days?

Ah, the life of a newspaper cartoonist -- how I miss the groupies, drugs and trashed hotel rooms!

But since my "rock star" days, the public attention has faded a lot. In Pop Culture Time, the 1990s were eons ago. There are occasional flare-ups of weirdness, but mostly I just go about my quiet life and do my best to ignore the rest. I'm proud of the strip, enormously grateful for its success, and truly flattered that people still read it, but I wrote "Calvin and Hobbes" in my 30s, and I'm many miles from there.

How do you want people to remember that 6-year-old and his tiger?

I vote for "Calvin and Hobbes, Eighth Wonder of the World."

The mighty CALVIN AND HOBBES. or going by his words: "I vote for Calvin and Hobbes, 8th wonder of the world!" Nuff said!

Sound: Rammstein's naivity



Rammstein was always one of those bands I found pretty interesting as characters, less for their music. I never got too much out of their songs, but always liked to hear their point on what they did and why they did it, as they always followed their very own path and idea.

In the following you can see a good interview by the German/French tv magazine 'Tracks' from the station "ARTE".

"You can never go your own way, if you walk in other people's footsteps"
