Whatever happened to Bill and why did he stop such a great comic strip in 1995? IIRC, he wanted to stop before he started rehashing old material.

If you're really interested, pick up his Tenth Anniversary volume, it has the history of Watterson (written by himself) as a cartoonist as well as a history of Calvin and Hobbes. Also has a short synopsis of various strips/series through the years.

He certainly didn't need any more money at that point (unless he wasted it on some damnfool thing, which he presumably didn't), and could thus make the decision on purely creative grounds.
