There was a great review online. Martheus Wade announced that “Defiance,” the movie based on Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa, has been cast. (Happy 40th Birthday, Antone!)

Creator Bill Watterson, who grew up in Chagrin Falls and still makes Greater Cleveland his home, recently answered some questions via e-mail from Plain Dealer reporter John Campanelli. It’s believed to be the first interview with the reclusive artist since 1989. You can read the interview by clicking on Bill’s portrait below. For many newspaper readers, flipping back to what used to be called the funny pages is bittersweet. It’s dependable amusement, yes, with Funky and Garfield and Beetle, but it’s also a daily reminder that someone’s missing. Read the whole article at The Plain Dealer. Greg pointed us to this article.
