Contacting Mr. Watterson

Unfortunately, Mr. Watterson is not available for media interviews, though his long-time editor is. If you are looking to book someone in relation to The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, please contact Rebecca Schuler, rschuler@amuniversal.com If you are not with the media, but are hoping to receive an autographed copy of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, or wish to have correspondence forwarded to Mr. Watterson, we are sorry to report that at Mr. Watterson's request, we do not forward such correspondence his way for the sheer fact that he would be unable to keep up with the overwhelming demand.
