This can't be the original that was just sold by Ha.com.... but he makes it sound like it's an original watercolor...

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CALVIN-HOBBES-WILLIAM-WATTERSON-COMIC-ART-13-X-10-on-11-x-17-/270984443961?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f17ee7839#ht_4318wt_954

 

I just re-read it, and he stops short of calling it "original" and just "artwork" so is it just a case of misleading listing??

 

The guy's Ebay user id is fosland

I am pretty sure it's just a photocopy.

 

My 10 second CSI found this feedback from last year:

 

Lot grossly misrepresented. Photocopy only. Item returned. Failed to make refund Buyer: smroth ( 2020) Aug-17-11 19:18

Reply by fosland (Aug-18-11 04:05):

Item was never returned for a full refund

 

I wouldn't buy anything from this guy.....

I contacted him through Ebay and hey said

 

 

 

It is not a print or a photograph. It is not computer generated image.

I was informed it is a water color. Some of the water color in tiny spots are on the pack of the art It is not an oil or pastel.

The lines are way too shaky for a practiced hand. I'm no expert, but I would wager Watterson's inking skills are far superior to what you see on the zoom (look at Hobbes paw and Calvin's face). I'm looking at my C&H books and there is quite a difference.

 

To me, it looks like it's a cover recreation, that's all.

Because anything found on the streets of New York MUST be legit...
