Bill Watterson signed color proof of his final ''Calvin & Hobbes'' comic strip, published 31 December 1995. In this last Sunday strip, the famous best friends explore a new world, covered with snow, representing a blank slate of a New Year and perhaps a new life post-comic strip. Watterson directed the distributor of his comic, Universal Press Syndicate, to print up several color proofs of this last iconic strip to be sent out to art directors and editors at newspapers across the U.S. as a ''thank you'' for their support of Calvin & Hobbes. This one was sent to Michael Ellis, executive editor of the Herald-Standard in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Proof measures 13.75'' x 9.75''. Minute wear and mild discoloration along left margin, overall near fine condition. With an LOA from Michael Ellis.
