I remember some of them though. I’m not sure about the first one, but all of the rest of these feel like they could make good Far Sides.

Anyone who doesn’t think “TAXIDERMY!” isn’t up to his old standard should go revisit literally any book in his career, that is PEAK Larson lmao

erstwhile goon KC Green did a series of fake Far Side cartoons. I think they're hilarious, but they are in a certain sense mostly cow tools with cusses: https://instagram.com/fofftm a few examples:

This one is super funny but the "I grew up watching the Simpsons" faces on the TV are killing it for me.

BigBadSteve posted:I just looked at that one, and it's bears eating cub scouts with no sign of any sort of joke. idgi. Gary Larson is sexually aroused by bears squashing and destroying things so there's a very good chance that's just him drawing a little something for daddy under the thinnest veneer of a joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNU5Ivpbwew&t=473s

Those are super neat, I've never seen them before and done by a goon! I'm hoping this becomes a goon cartoon catch-all thread. I did one inspired by Cyanide and Happiness:

I made a knockoff far side comic when i was around 8 or 9. it was just a fishbowl with one of those jesus fish you see on people’s cars in it. and the caption was “gods fishtank” lol been rereading the galleries and i think i understand where my love of reptiles (particularly snakes) came from now. anyone remember the far side animated cartoon that aired in like 95? all i remember from it was some guys driving through the desert on a “roadkill tour” and that the whole thing was super bizarre in an almost uncomfortable way.

80s newspaper comics were such a bizarre thing. Like where else can a guy who can only draw two types of men, one type of woman, and like three different animals have a storied career as an artist.

The difference is that Far Side was funny, Zippy was weird with a joke sometimes tacked on.

Whatever flaws Gary has, he isn't Scott Adams. At least we can agree on that.
