The dumb boy pushes against the door. A sign on the door says "pull". A sign in the background tells you that this is a school for the gifted. You realize that political correctness has made a word mean the exact opposite of what it once did. You laugh. You turn to the weather section.

never understood why of all media The Far Side gets the white glove treatment from internet posters. why does this lone comic author have his wishes respected by the internet to not post his work online. His metaphor of his comic=his daughter is loving weird to boot.

RE: Online Use of Far Side Cartoons TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I'm walking a fine line here. On the one hand, I confess to finding it quite flattering that some of my fans have created web sites displaying and / or distributing my work on the Internet. And, on the other, I'm struggling to find the words that convincingly but sensitively persuade these Far Side enthusiasts to "cease and desist" before they have to read these words from some lawyer. What impact this unauthorized use has had (and is having) in tangible terms is, naturally, of great concern to my publishers and therefore to me -- but it's not the focus of this letter. My effort here is to try and speak to the intangible impact, the emotional cost to me, personally, of seeing my work collected, digitized, and offered up in cyberspace beyond my control. Years ago I was having lunch one day with the cartoonist Richard Guindon, and the subject came up how neither one of us ever solicited or accepted ideas from others. But, until Richard summed it up quite neatly, I never really understood my own aversions to doing this: "It's like having someone else write in your diary," he said. And how true that statement rang with me. In effect, we drew cartoons that we hoped would be entertaining or, at the very least, not boring; but regardless, they would always come from an intensely personal, and therefore original perspective. To attempt to be "funny" is a very scary, risk-laden proposition. (Ask any stand-up comic who has ever "bombed "on stage.) But if there was ever an axiom to follow in this business, it would be this: be honest to yourself and -- most important -- respect your audience. So, in a nutshell (probably an unfortunate choice of words for me), I only ask that this respect be returned, and the way for anyone to do that is to please, please refrain from putting The Far Side out on the Internet. These cartoons are my "children," of sorts, and like a parent, I'm concerned about where they go at night without telling me. And, seeing them at someone's web site is like getting the call at 2:00 a.m. that goes, "Uh, Dad, you're not going to like this much, but guess where I am." I hope my explanation helps you to understand the importance this has for me, personally, and why I'm making this request. Please send my "kids" home. I'll be eternally grateful. Most respectfully, Gary Larson

the internet has made me very jaded because idc if Gary respectfully asks that I refrain from posting his cartoon online. Plus his children metaphor doesn't ring very sincere when the cartoon is merchandised so thoroughly. Had Bill Waterson, a man with proven commitment to the integrity of his work, written this letter I'd feel a lot more hesitant to post C&H comics. granted it was super sweet of him to pen this letter to his admirers when a less tactful cartoonist would have gone legal with it from the start. e: if its actually not Gary Larson but third parties merchandising the work, I take it back.
