"Dear Mr. Watterson" Calvin and Hobbes Documentary

Greatest strip ever. You gotta love Bill Watterson for many reasons, but not merchandising the crap out of his beloved characters is an amazing feat of respect for his work and his readers. This doc looks solid, nice tone, I hope Watterson gives it his blessing.
“This film is not simply a film about Bill Watterson or Calvin & Hobbes. What we really hope to capture is the amazing influence that Mr. Watterson’s comic has had on people across the globe. When the strip was retired on December 31st, 1995, it was published in over 2400 papers worldwide. Truly, an enormous number of people were inspired by Mr. Watterson’s magical world.”
