Apparently, he still lives in his hometown and spends a lot of time painting. Of course, it's not like cartoonists are celebrities anyway. Perhaps the most famous current cartoonist is Garry Trudeau or Breathed, neither of whom I'd recognize if they passed me on the street.

The main character looks a LOT like a grown-up (well, older) Calvin, has many of his personality quirks, and Caulfield is a LOT like Calvin himself. The art style is also very, very similar. Unfortunately, Frazz' sweetheart, Miss Plainwell, probably isn't Suzy Derkins, and Hobbes is nowhere to be found, but most fans of Calvin and Hobbes ought to enjoy Frazz. J.
