IQ1: Were you created as a parody of excessive *Garfield *merchandising?
IQ2: Are you the creator of the answer to IQ1?
IQ3: Did you recently come out of retirement to contribute to a Pearls Before Swine storyline?
Yes.
No idea who the first two are, but that doesn’t matter because -
Yes! I am comic-strip god Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes.
Well done, Chock!
Cool!
#1 was Bloom County’s Bill the Cat.
#2 was Berke Breathed
I’m proud to say I’ve converted my children into Calvin and Hobbes fans. It holds up the best of the Holy Trinity of 1980s comic stripes (Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, and The Far Side). Bloom County was a little too topical to work for today’s audience, and when reading the complete Far Side volumes, you can see Larson was starting to repeat himself a lot towards the end.

How did… Is that a new record of less than an hour?? I thought “well, I haven’t answered any DQs yet, I could easily change to someone else and nobody would ever know” but dang… that’s a frightening guess. Get out of my head!!

The previous record, I think, was set back in December when I guessed one with the sixth IQ asked. That one took about two hours.
