Agreed. It's a shame that more similarly-talented people in Hollywood can't take a cue from Mr. Watterson and behave in a similar fashion when not in front of the camera.

I've never understood what motivates Brittany Spears or Katie Holmes to gush non-stop about their pregnancies. Or Ben Affleck or George Clooney or Sean Penn gush non-stop on their "extensive" U.S. Foreign Policy initiatives. Or Rosie O'Donnell or Ellen "DeGenerate" gush non-stop about how proud they are to be carpet-munchers.

What makes Mr. Watterson special is that I respect his privacy as much as he likely "respects" the public's right not to be bothered with personal info that we'd just as rather not know.

The thing that gets me is that they pretend to be annoyed by the attention but you know that at their get-togethers they're gushing over each other about making the cover of People or Cosmo magazine.
