Bill Watterson on Children and Parents
“Calvin and Hobbes” creator Bill Watterson, in a rare Q&A exchange that took place in 2005:
Q: What attributes do you wish were seen more commonly among children?
A: Good parents!
Typical for Bill Watterson: a quietly direct, even mousy, but unexpectedly truthful response. I was caught off guard by it at first, actually, thinking about how most people might answer the question. Of course Watterson would see it from the kids’ side, though; leave it him to recognize that many of the problems of children – and the deficiencies we like to find in them – actually have their roots in the failings and indifference of the adults around children instead.
