Bill Watterson should've licensed Calvin and Hobbes. It's not as remembered today as it deserves to be.
Calvin and Hobbes was brilliant, smart and had a good heart, one of the best comic strips of all-time. But Bill Watterson, the creator, was concerned about losing integrity and overexposing it, so he didn't let anyone make merchandise or a TV show or movie out of the strip.
I think this decision made it leave the culture too quickly. He could've overseen at the least a high-quality Hobbes stuffed animal that would've been in every kid's room, and maybe even a TV show or movie that would've made sure kids today know how great it was.
