This is the talkback thread for Bill Watterston Loans 3,000 Original "Calvin & Hobbes" Strips to OSU (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=3842).

Wow! I never thought I'd have one, but here it is: a reason to go to Ohio!

:D

Ohio?! Man, I thought it meant Oregon State U. That's at least driving distance.

Do those Ohioans even know what they have?!

Yeah I heard about the story in the Columbus Dispatch about two weeks ago. I just don't understand why Watterson would do a move like that. I guess since it's close university to his hometown and large enough to suffice to comic, I guess Watterson did the right move. This is probably the holy grail of all comic strips to have all the originals since Charles Shultz didn't keep alot of his early stuff. Come to think of it, it has been almost ten years since Watterson put up the ink and delivered the comic to syndictation.
