David Emm Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I can't locate the piece in question for posting, but arguably the best one-panel cartoon on Earth is from The Far Side. One of Larson's frumpy women is on the phone and there's a big EYE in the window behind her. She's saying "Helen? Its Marge. I hate to bother you, but could you tell me what's in my front yard?" WE can only guess, but Helen knows. 🤣 Quote "We're the crash test dummies of the digital age." ~ Kara Swisher, "Burn Book" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0Ampy0o Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If you have not seen it Gary Larson was on 60 Minutes (IIRC) many years ago. At the beginning they gave him some random details to work with and by the end of the interview he created a cartoon on par with his oeuvre. The Louie Louie is my favorite. I also feel the first one is perfect the way it is. It is Larson's humor not a KC meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokely Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Ah man, love Far Side. It's somewhat of a tie between that and Calvin and Hobbes for me, totally different types of strips but both genius. The Midvale School for the Gifted one where the kid is trying to push the door that says "pull" just kills me. The most ironic one features proud parents of a nintendo-playing kid looking through the want ads (remember those) where everyone is looking to pay top dollar for a nintendo player. Well, a friend of mine's son became a top Minecraft youtuber and can now retire as a multi-millionaire at the ripe old age of 22 if he wants to. My friend quit his day job and started a merchandising company to handle the merch for him and other influencers, so double-cash in. What a world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Gary Larson's music jokes are on point, partly because he is a musician himself. According to this article, Larson intentionally quoted an outrageous price to Jim Hall's agent, when contacted about illustrating Jim Hall's album cover... in order to parlay a free lesson with that jazz guitar legend Larson also ended up doing the cover for Hall's book 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0Ampy0o Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Somehow The Far Side cartoons were not prevalent on the internet. I searched and didn't find much. I suppose they were pretty aggressive at keeping things that way. Larson came out of retirement and has had new material posted on his website for several years now but not prolific amounts. I have loosely observed that new material is only up for a limited time then replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
