@jenn I second that! Great to check out the video!
I'm super familiar with Watterson's Calving and Hobbes. Not familiar at all with Kascht's work, but I can absolutely see how this book is a departure from each's "usual" style and how satisfying that must have been.
To be fair Watterson has been away from C&H for so long now, and it sounds like his recent work is actually in line with this more raw and abstracted image making he advocates for in the video.
Super interesting. Even more so for the "behind-the-scenes" information.
