# Bill Watterson is one of the few people who retired from the public beautifully He easily could have continued to publish Calvin and Hobbes for years and make millions of dollars without needing to come up with a single new funny comic just because of the nostalgia he had created. Instead, he published a final comic and then retired somewhere. He doesn’t go on talk shows, he doesn’t publish op-eds, he didn’t try to become a brand.
