Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (July 19)

Calvin and Hobbes is the best. It helped define my childhood, and I still I read it TO THIS DAY. I love it. I own every book (including those that are simply compilations of the "best" strips from other books) -- I even saved the very last comic (Dec. 31, 1995) from the Chicago Tribune (because I am a nerd). I'm not sure how I feel about this new documentary, Dear Mr. Watterson. Part of me is encouraged by the enthusiasm of like-minded fans. But, knowing Watterson's insane reclusiveness and vehement opposition to merchandising, I just know they'll find a way to F it up. Will it be a comprehensive look at the strip's history, pure fan service or ... what? No release date yet.
