I found that out when it came to the logistics of the artwork. I drew my part first and then shipped him the strips. I wanted him to fill in the panels I left blank, and simply scan and email me back the finished strips.
I asked him to do this because I did not want to be responsible for handling his finished artwork. Partly because I knew it would be worth thousands of dollars. Partly because I knew he wanted to auction it off for charity. And partly because my UPS driver has a tendency to leave my packages in the dirt at the end of our driveway. (I could just imagine the email I’d have to write the next day: “Dear Mr. Watterson – The first comic strip you’ve drawn in 20 years was ravaged by a squirrel.”)
Pearls Before Swine artist talking about how Bill Watterson wanted to mail him originals during their collab & he was like, please please do not do this i am so afraid
want to just say nearly every flyer had pride tape on their sticks and even last year when they were able to wear the jerseys very few of them also used pride tape so it was so nice to see 🥹
i dont know if i can actually accurately put into words just how profoundly this man has impacted and improved my life, and i think that’s probably a shared sentiment among rik fans :”) above it all, i just really want to say thank you, rik, and that i miss you very much <3
(dedicating this to some of the incredibly lovely people i’ve become friends with because of him: @slimylayne , @neil-neil-orange-peel, @ensign-ancic, and really just all of my lovely rik mutuals <3)
((alas didnt manage to draw alan or richard dangerous, but i did my best with the amount of time i had :(( ))

do yall think they (sometimes) choose weathers that fit the eps intentionally or its just coincidence how well the Mudstone Abyss weathers match the eps
but also @ prev post dont care for the shaming. have you maybe considered the correlation of depression and not changing sheets often might have a Different Connection?
I still have a lot of additions and changes in mind but can we just appreciate how many days of waiting on simple panel orders it takes to make these fuckin buildings. I'm so close, I'll be able to fill in the final gaps in the walls tomorrow
