He freely gave interviews in the 1980s, but then went into hiding after the strip ended. It's the fact that he became a recluse which has made people so curious about him. Most cartoonists are easy to contact and some even have their own blogs, which tends to satisfy the curious. If he gave an interview now and then or even produced a new book every couple years, he wouldn't garner extraordinary attention. Never understood why Bill Watterson suddenly became a recluse.

"We went to Hong Kong on a hunch...and here's what we found." Classic. Can’t find the damn thing online, but this reminds me of the classic 60 Minutes parody from SNL about the fake vomit factory…
