Guest comics by Bill Watterson for Pearls Before Swine
└ posted on Saturday, 7 June 2014, by Novil
Bill Watterson has drawn three guest comics for Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis. You can find the three strips at GoComics:
They are part of a longer story arc which also includes the strips posted on 2 June 2014, 3 June 2014 and 7 June 2014 (you should not miss this one). We can only hope to see more of Bill Watterson’s art in the future. He seems to have become a little less reclusive lately. Stephan Pastis writes more about the guest comics in this blog post.
Quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen all year.
I don’t read Pearls Before Swine, but when I do, Bill Watterson draws it.
You probably know this one already:

(That comic isn’t actually *drawn* by Watterson, but *written* by him – and it’s great all the way)

They co-collaborate the story. They actually sending back and forth ideas for the story.
Also if you read the comment on the Gocomic site when they still keep Watterson identity secret some commenter act like typical internet trolls and calling Watterson art’s “ugly.” But when it finally revealed that it was Watterson who drew the guest art, none of them dare to challenge him.
@ AckAckAck:
Sorry, I should have clarified: The Zen Pencils comic that I linked to was not drawn by Watterson, but the text of that comic was. For the Pearls before Swine comic you are right.
