He ran out of ideas, and figured that's the time to stop.

Which is astounding given comic strip creators.

the only time he's really done anything comics related since is I think an Opus strip and I believe he did something for the ended-too-soon (because the creator got Parkinson's) strip Cul-de-Sac, which he basically considered the spiritual successor to C&H.

He did a few strips with the Pearls Before Swine guy a few years ago, too. I remember a lot of people going "no loving way" at the time.

why, just out of curiosity

I moved every year for 8 straight years , plus since I'm cheap (due to never having any money due to student loans) piracy was "good enough" for most everything regarding books, PC games or movies/TV shows. plus now I have no room for anything because there's kid toys everywhere

I never knew about this. Looking it up, Watterson appearing as a sassy second-grader is kind of perfect.

The water running out will mean the squiggly line will go down one way or another, be it through either unavoidable shortage or deliberate rationing and precautions that cost money.

Because of that, the people responsible cannot even begin to imagine the line could go down so they refuse to consider that as a possibility; something has to give and ignoring the ecological threat is the safest bet for them in the short term.

I like almonds, but... You know, I'm fine paying ten dollars a pack because I only have them on Easter Salmon anyways.
