I always wondered if this Calvin and Hobbes Sunday page had been inspired by Savage Dragon. One more interesting tidbit Erik mentioned on facebook is the possibility that Watterson might just have been influenced by Savage Dragon at one point… I figure that readers will either get what I’m doing or not. There are no Calvin or Hobbes type characters in the mix. Just similar panel arrangements (most aren’t the same as actual Sunday pages) and lettering. I explained that I thought it would be weird to credit Bill given that I didn’t exactly nail his style or tell actual funny jokes. Ferran also suggested to run a little caption at the start of the issue to point out the connection to Calvin & Hobbes but in the end it wasn’t used and I don’t think it’s really necessary.įerran had suggested running THIS caption on the splash. In addition to the familiar panel layouts, it is Ferran Delgado’s great handling of the fonts and lettering that make these pages work so well. The spreads are doublepages which made the layouts a bit more complicated…Īdded complications included having to avoid the center of pages with text (because of possible alignment issues) and making sure all spreads were clearly spreads, which meant at least one panel had to clearly cross over from one page to the next–in this case panel four.Įrik roughly based the panel configuration of the above spread on an actual Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip. The book features 5 spreads in the style of classic Sunday funny pages. This issue focuses on Dragon’s kids and if the coverfont isn’t a giveaway this issue pays homage to one of the greatest cartoons ever: Bill Watterson’s Calvin & Hobbes. Savage Dragon #236 came out in July 2018.

If I just run the A cover again, with a different colored logo–there’d be less reason to feel obliged to pick up another copy. While it’s nice to sell a few more copies–I don’t feel it’s fair to force readers to chip in another $10. The thing with this is I always weigh the options–doing a new cover would take time and it’d be yet another cover that longtime readers would feel obligated to buy and both of those are huge factors. Erik is considering different ideas for that as he said on Facebook… It retailed for 50$ and sold out faster than you can say “that’s green but mean”.Īnyways, apparently - as of yesterday - the entire first print run has sold out and there are already talks about a second printing.
