The great artistic sin of our age is never letting anything be done, never letting anything age, never letting anything stand on it's own long enough to become beloved. No theme or concept or character is ever allowed to rest until it's been done to death, they won't stop making more of the thing until it's been done so bad that everyone hates it, and even that will only buy you maybe half a decade, tops. Zombie culture.
No more fucking Star Wars, the world is at capacity for Star Wars.
Second best thing Bill Watterson did was create Calvin and Hobbes. Best thing Bill Watterson did was stop when he felt he was creatively finished with the strip, and refuse to license or merchandize his beloved works. The world could use more artists like Bill Watterson.
A thousand times this. I would only add that it warms my heart when I learn that young people are still reading it today in anthology form, despite having been born long after the strip ended. Make art right, with your whole heart, and it has staying power.
And it's not just the suits who won't let things die either. I constantly hear demands for sequels and reboots for things that have ended from fans unable to move on. It's one thing to ensure a proper gravestone and obituary, it's another to beg Dr. Frankenstein to revive the corpse
