===Exhibitions=== In 2001, the [[Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum]] at [[Ohio State University]] mounted an exhibition of Watterson's [[Sunday strip]]s. He chose thirty-six of his favorites, displaying them with both the original drawing and the colored finished product, with most pieces featuring personal annotations. Watterson also wrote an accompanying essay that served as the foreword for the exhibit, called "Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985β1995", which opened on September 10, 2001. It was taken down in January 2002. The accompanying published catalog had the same title.<ref name="Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages">{{cite web|url=http://www.andrewsmcmeel.com/books/detail?sku=9780740721359|title=Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday pages 1985β1995|publisher=Andrew Mcmeel|access-date=October 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606055203/http://www.andrewsmcmeel.com/books/detail?sku=9780740721359|archive-date=June 6, 2017|url-status=dead }}</ref> From March 22 to August 3, 2014, Watterson exhibited again at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at Ohio State University.<ref>{{Citation | publisher = OSU cartoons | title = Exploring Calvin & Hobbes | url = http://cartoons.osu.edu/events/exploring-calvin-and-hobbes/ | date = February 7, 2014 | access-date = July 9, 2014 | archive-date = August 11, 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150811001523/http://cartoons.osu.edu/events/exploring-calvin-and-hobbes/ | url-status = live }}.</ref> In conjunction with this exhibition, Watterson also participated in an interview with the school.<ref>{{Citation | date = March 20, 2014 | type = blog | contribution-url = http://library.osu.edu/blogs/cartoons/2014/03/20/new-interview-calvin-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-and-cul-de-sac-creator-richard-thompson-talk-libraries-comics-and-the-creative-process-with-ohio-state/ | title = Cartoons | publisher = OSU Library | contribution = New interview: Calvin & Hobbes creator Bill Watterson & Cul de Sac creator Richard Thompson talk libraries, comics & the creative process with Ohio State | access-date = July 9, 2014 | archive-date = July 15, 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140715163719/http://library.osu.edu/blogs/cartoons/2014/03/20/new-interview-calvin-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-and-cul-de-sac-creator-richard-thompson-talk-libraries-comics-and-the-creative-process-with-ohio-state/ | url-status = live }}.</ref> An exhibition catalog named ''Exploring Calvin and Hobbes'' was released with the exhibit.
