Before the enormous success of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson pursued a brief career as a political cartoonist, with a brief stint drawing cartoons for The Kenyon Collegian and for the political cartoon quarterly magazine, Target. This large, expressive illustration has the caption: "I think I want to leave my wife for this great little computer I've been seeing. It sits still, speaks only when spoken to, remembers everything I tell it, never complains..." Rendered in ink and watercolor on poster board, this work measures 28" x 22". Aside from some light paper aging, the art is in Excellent condition. Signed by Bill Watterson at the lower right.Auction Info
