Uncommercial
I found this CNN article on Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes.
I remember cracking up reading the brilliant antics of Calvin and his stuffed bear. The comic always single-handedly made playing in the snow look tremendously fun.
The article focuses on how Mr. Watterson never took much commercial advantage of Calvin and Hobbes. He never licensed any products, isn't available for interviews, and despises the commercialization of his work (it "violates the spirit" of the strip.)
Good for you, Mr. Watterson.
