"You just see a master at his craft..." This will bring a smile to your face.

In the age of Twitter and online streaming content, the endurance of a treasured comic strip (from something as archaic as a newspaper) especially among the Facebook generation, might be a bit puzzling and unexpected. It’s also the subject of the new documentary “Dear Mr. Watterson,” which premieres this week at the Cleveland International Festival. (Read More)
