"Noble patricians, patrons of my right, defend the justice of my cause with arms; and, countrymen, my loving followers, plead my successive title with your swords."
- Shakespeare, Saturninus in "Titus Andronicus"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has an interview the cartoonist and comic genius Bill Watterson, the first interview since 1989. He says:
"Ah, the life of a newspaper cartoonist -- how I miss the groupies, drugs and trashed hotel rooms! . . .
An artwork can stay frozen in time, but I stumble through the years like everyone else. I think the deeper fans understand that, and are willing to give me some room to go on with my life."
...and manages to say nothing new. The guy really wants to be left alone, I think.
