Here’s an article about it. Apparently it was June 4th, 5th, & 6th of 2014. I thought Watterson did the whole strip, but according to the article, he only did the middle panel. Still, pretty impressive that he would volunteer to do it!
Thanks! Berkeley Breathed did a Bloom County series during COVID where Opus and co. work to reunite Hobbes with Calvin. I think it was only done with Watterson’s permission, but it looks really close to his art.
I’m sure you probably already know this, but he is so respected that Bill Watterson did a handful of the strips.
I actually did not know that! It must not be in any of the collections I have unless it isn’t obvious. Do you know when he did them?

I’ve never seen that, thanks for sharing!
Have you ever seen the one-off cartoon that Watterson drew for the cartoon documentary Stripped?
And lastly, this is one of my favorite Pearls Before Swine! 🤣
And it looks like June 7th was Pastis doing a tribute to the last Calvin & Hobbes strip.
(I found all 4 strips on GoComics with a Google search for the dates.)
