The Resume

    (July 5, 1958- )
    Creator of the 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip (November 18, 1985-December 31, 1995)
    Youngest person to ever win a Reuben Award for cartooning excellence (1986)

Why he might be annoying:

    He is extremely private.
    He retired from the 'Calvin and Hobbes' strip at the height of its popularity (1995).
    He very rarely answers his fan mail, wanting instead to be left alone.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He quit the strip to get away from routine and spend time with his wife.
    He named the tiger character Hobbes after celebrated philosopher Thomas Hobbes.
    He named his boy character Calvin after the philosopher John Calvin.
    He is an environmentalist and voiced his concerns of pollution through the strip.
    He won a long battle against having 'Calvin and Hobbes' licensed (and therefore cheapened).
    'Calvin and Hobbes' is one of the most popular comic strips of all time and treasury collection books of it are still hot items.
