Calvin's creator takes break from comics after deadline strain
Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson will pause his drawing duties from April 3 to December 31, 1986, citing heavy creative and deadline demands. The reclusive artist works without staff or vacations, and his leave is announced by Universal Press Syndicate president John McMeel. Watterson rarely grants interviews and has not disclosed his residence. In a separate note, comedian Richard Pryor, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986, spoke at a Missouri MS clinic about coping with the illness and joked about channel clicking. Anoushka Delon, the 3-year-old daughter of Alain Delon and Rosalie Van Breemen, is mentioned as welcoming a newborn brother weighing 7 pounds 0 ounces.
