Cynthetiq - as I understand it, "jumping the shark" is a term used for a show or series that starts doing crazy things, just to get ratings or more readers. Watterson never did that to C&H. He retired for a reason, partly because of the problems he was having with the syndicates, partly because he was having problems with the size and templates which comics were being reduced to, and partly because he accomplished what he wanted to. Read C&H: Tenth Anniversary Book, and you'll understand what I mean.
