Bill Waterson, of Calvin and Hobbes fame, painted a 6x8 oil-on-board of Richard Thompson's character Petey Otterloop from the comic strip Cul de Sac. The piece is Waterson's contribution to Team Fox's fundraising project for parkinson's disease.
“I didn’t get my hopes up that [Watterson] would contribute,” says Caty Neis, a book editor at Andrews McMeel Universal — the parent company of Watterson’s syndicate — who has been spearheading the Team Cul de Sac effort. “Just the fact that this is first art that we have seen from him in 16 years is just so exciting, and what a great cause.”
