If I remember correctly, Uncle Max never showed up again after this arc, because Watterson found it awkward that he couldn't have Max call his brother by his name. Mom and Dad were always supposed to be Mom and Dad, never named.
I had one of the commentated collections as a kid, and Watterson mentioned that and also that he had no idea what to do with Max. Which is why he never showed up again.

From what I hear Larson is a genuinely nice guy and whether he's returning because he needs the money, or just has something he wants to say or just create again, I'm all in favor of.
Please tell me you know Kelly's schtick and are just making a side comment.

Oh my satan, the only reason Batiuk wrote the wildfire into his comic is to make Les flashback to saving St. Lisa and use that to finally give his full support to Marianne playing the role of Cancerwife. This is beyond tasteless.

Here's the story of how Gary Larson started doing more Far Side again. It's really heartwarming. :3:

Boy, don't you just love it when the first thing an abuser does when they see you is invade your personal space? Michael's look of discomfort in the last panel can even be interpreted to him not happy to have his abuser to close to him.

Lynn tried to make this sound sentimental but it's completely unearned. You just know she'll be back to verbally abusing her son the next day, or making some snide comment about how glad she is that her son's girlfriend left him since it proves her right.

More or less the cows are coming home. Heimo has escaped the relationship with his wife who now has to make ends meet somehow. Today is possible legal action being brought for all those junipers being illegally cut. Still some people left for karma to touch but I feel like we'll get there. We're seeing the "Punk Cave" attract a lot of good personalities while the new business attracted the greedy and in Pekka's case, the naive.

Get the lesson, 1942 girls? Pursue your man with singleminded dedication, no matter what he says or does, and he'll eventually give up and ask you to marry him!
Coincidentally also the motto of most of the rapey sex romp comedies of the 80s. "Girls only say no to make you prove your value, try harder!"

Sanrio says she's just a British school kid.

quote:

You would be forgiven for having thought for your entire life that Hello Kitty was a cat.

After all, she does kind of look like one - and she is called Kitty.

But her creators Sanrio are adamant. She is a British school kid called Kitty White and she lives just outside London (although no-one is saying exactly where).

In fact, she has a whole life story and a family that includes a twin sister called Mimmy.

Sanrio has walked that one back some.

When Kotaku called Sanrio's Tokyo headquarters today and asked whether or not Hello Kitty was indeed a cat, a spokesperson explained, "Hello Kitty was done in the motif of a cat. It's going too far to say that Hello Kitty is not a cat. Hello Kitty is a personification of a cat."
