“Calvin & Hobbes” hanno trent’anni
di Antonio Russo

"Ad eccezione di due calendari del 1989 e del 1990, di un libro di testo scolastico del 1993 (“Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes”) e di un francobollo stampato dallo United States Postal Service nel 2010, non esistono prodotti che raffigurino legalmente – cioè con una regolare licenza di merchandising – personaggi o scene di Calvin & Hobbes."

"Es un libro educativo para el que Watterson licenció algunas tiras y del que se editaron muy pocas copias."

"Watterson, el regreso del ícono

"No dijo la frase en vano, pues a pesar de los embates del marketing nunca licenció productos como peluches, o camisetas, un paso que le hubiera representado millones de dólares. La única publicación que autorizó fue la de un libro llamado Teaching With Calvin and Hobbes, publicado en 1993 para ayudar a niños con dificultades de aprendizaje."

"The art of creating demand: a Calvin and Hobbes story

"Michael del Castillo
Upstart Business Journal Technology & Innovation Editor

"The UpTake: Perhaps the best way to drive up the value of your product isn't to license it at all, and just wait for your fans to fight tooth and nail to get it....

"Other than the official books, calendars, and that which is printed in old newspapers, the most notable—and perhaps only—product to receive a Calvin and Hobbes license is the 1993 texbook called Teaching with Calvin and Hobbes..."

"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.
But on the whole you're very right, and especially any stickers involving Calvin pissing on something. :)"

"Once a month, we’ll be releasing a list of fictional Multiversity Collection releases. A small group of staff will pick books that they believe are essential for every comic book collection, give you a short reason as to why and then create what we feel would be the ultimate release edition of that book. With that in mind, every one of these articles will start with the following note:

"None of these books are actually books that are in production, nor will they ever be in production."
