You can't put a price on principle, you fucking sellout.
I imagine Watterson is still pretty well off. I think they still publish Calvin and Hobbes books?
I thought Watterson wasn't interested in that stuff

I heard Jim Davis hires sign spinners to stand outside Watterson's house all day with his networth prominently displayed

And when he actually tries he's pretty good.
Just he doesn't need to try.

Right when Watterson is doing his daily painting bonfires?
Bellowing fire behind him.
"BUT I STILL HAVE MY PRINCIPLES JIM"
Looks back at the amber cascade.
"MY PRINCIPLES"

Jim Davis has admitted that Garfield was by design to be marketable. He didn't even try to make him funny.

True, though later he actually started caring about it.
But yea he was made to sell.

That doesn't apply to Watterson though, since he actively turned down merchandising and ended the strip when he felt it was right.

More like he got to it too late for some things. All those Calvin peeing on shit? Not a penny went to him because he never bothered to fight the copyright over it.

There is more than one wealthy man named Jim Davis.

So the actual difference is 800m to 100m which is a factor of 8. Still a substantial difference, but one lacks the plague of terrible movies.
