Turn Back
I hear that these days Bill Watterson is happy just painting in the Ohio woods with his father and doesn't get any mail or talk to anyone.
Title text: I hear that these days Bill Watterson is happy just painting in the Ohio woods with his father and doesn't get any mail or talk to anyone.

[edit] Explanation

The frequent themes of spontaneity, beauty and adventure characterize this exchange between Cueball and Megan as they explore a distinctly Spaceman Spiff landscape.

Bill Watterson was the artist behind Calvin and Hobbes, and hence creator of Spaceman Spiff.

[edit] Transcript

Cueball: Should we keep going?
Megan: I don't know.
Cueball: We can turn back if you want.
Megan: Look--
Megan: Did it ever occur to you that maybe I don't have a plan any more than you? Maybe just having this conversation means we're lost.

Cueball: Kind of scary.
Megan: It's terrifying.
Cueball: This place is beautiful.
Megan: Yeah.
