I've had that on my Amazon wish list for a loooong time now.

And when I got my truck I was given one of thos Calvin graphics. I will not put it on.

Watterson fought the company that syndicated Calvin and Hobbes to keep as much control over his characters as possible and does not allow any merchandising of C&H other than the books. He has done a couple of things for charity, but anything you or I see with Calvin or Hobbes is, without a doubt, infingement.

For a few years, Watterson would sign copies of his books for a bookstore in Ohio (he ceased doing it when speculators started buying up all copies looking for the autographed ones).

Here is a site that covers all things Calvin & Hobbes.
