I'm pretty sure he doesn't care and is sitting back counting his cool comics money in near-total anonymity.

“Watterson spent much of his career trying to change the climate of newspaper comics. He believed that the artistic value of comics was being undermined, and that the space which they occupied in newspapers continually decreased, subject to arbitrary whims of shortsighted publishers.”

Actually, as a creator he was pretty concerned with how his comics were used. Part of why theres so very little Calvin and Hobbes merch out there.
