The Los Angeles Times assigned writer Paul Dean to do a piece on Watterson in the spring of 1987 that they hoped would be a definitive profile. In a way it was, but not in the way they had imagined. The resulting article, “Calvin and Hobbes creator draws on the simple life,” found Watterson with his hackles raised. “Calvin and Hobbes will not exist intact if I do not exist intact,” Watterson told Dean. “And I will not exist intact if I have to put up with all this stuff.”
