Zarquon is not very punctual

I didn’t know this:

You know what’s ironical, when watterson says this:

…..Who would believe in the innocence of a little kid and his tiger if they cashed in on their popularity to sell overpriced knickknacks that nobody needs?….

he may be right. But some people may still cherish those knickknacks. Its agreed that somebody should not make huge sums out of exclusive marketing. But why this:

…..which means that every Calvin & Hobbes T-shirt, coffee mug or other gadget that is on the market is illegal….

I fail to get the reason. Still Bill Watterson is and will remain a legend.
