I have never read anything written by Mr Watterson inducating he would dislike these. I do know he fought with his syndicate for years over merchandise (bascically they wanted merchandise he didn't) It would serve no point to him to sue them over it even if he could (which he can't there is just to many) Its not like he wanted Calvin and Hobbes merchandise and wanted to make money off it. He didn't want any merchandise period. He didn't care about the money. I think they look stupid,are cliche and are a good 10 years out of date. But I don't put them on the same level as stealing. Stealing from what or who? They take no money from Mr Watersons pocket. There are no offical Calvin stickers. At worse they just piss him off to see his creation cheapend. But that is still not stealing.
