"An important thing mentioned is that he never licensed or agreed to merchandise the characters. That means that anything related to Calvin and Hobbes that isn't one of the books is a knock off and Watterson gets nothing for it."

"Almost anything - there were a couple of calendars and 'Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes' which are legit.
