Although famous for his comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson receives little credit for his poems that appear sporadically. Some poems, such as 'Tyrannosaur', appear in syndicated newspapers as Sunday strips, while others, such as [[A Nauseous Nocturne]], are added in collection. It is worth noting that most of the syndicated poems have conjectural titles while those in the printed collections each have official titles. |

Although famous for his comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson receives little credit for his poems that appear sporadically. Some poems, such as 'Tyrannosaur', appear in syndicated newspapers as Sunday strips, while others, such as A Nauseous Nocturne, are added in collection. It is worth noting that most of the syndicated poems have conjectural titles while those in the printed collections each have official titles.
The poems are here featured in chronological order.
Syndicated poems
The Dad Who Lived to Regret Being Mean to His Kid
Barney's dad was really bad,
So Barney hatched a plan.
When his dad said "Eat your peas!"
Barney shouted "No!" and ran.
Barney tricked his mean ol' dad
And locked him in the cellar,
His mom never found out where he'd gone
'Cause Barney didn't tell her
There his dad spent his life,
Eating mice and gruel.
With every bite for fifty years
He was sorry he'd been cruel.
