Everyone ranting about taxidermist and bears eating cub scouts and yet no one has any love or hate for the father son alien bonding time. I thought it was really cute and the best of the bunch.StrangersInTheNight posted:Gary Larson is too pure for GBS. Pearls before swine. Nah, that's a different strip.

COMPAGNIE TOMMY posted:Can we talk about the elephant in the room, which is that Gary Larson is obviously a huge toker, and smoking weed has got to account for 75% of the humor in his comics. In Prehistory of the Far Side, he talks about his inspiration: "coffee", which given the time the book came out he could not admit to using drugs. I might be wrong, but between being an adult and also getting stoned I now "get" the cartoons I didn't when I was younger and it seems really obvious given where your mind goes on the stuff.

The alien one is the best because it has an old farmer man in it and Gary Larson draws those dudes perfectly also the probe and release line lmao

These are pretty average for the far side, but something about them feels like amazing new yorker cartoons

I have faith that given a bit of time to get back into things, Larson will begin producing all time greats again. And no longer hamstrung by syndication, which will be interesting.

I actually like the taxdermist gag, and I think the people who don't like it are mistaken.

I saw Cathy Guisewite on Letterman back in the 80s and she said the joke from a strip that had already run. I always thought that was an odd choice but then again I still remember the joke. edit: It might have been the Tonight Show

If the posters were actually as funny as they claim theres nothing stopping them from making the same funny threads elsewhere. And yet

Oh man, I used to want to be Gary Larson too and made a bunch of knockoff cartoons as well. I was like, 13. I don’t have the drawings anymore. They’re probably lost to the sands of time. I remember some of them though. Beds walking around for a “night of the living beds” joke. A bear in a trench coat asking another bear “Hey buddy, wanna buy a squirrel?” A McDonalds manager examining the fries in the deep fryer and saying, “Someone’s been licking all the salt off these French fries!” There’s a cow working the register in the background. A man with a briefcase in a suit, but not wearing pants, waiting at the bus stop. Caption: “Herbert couldn’t help but feel that he was forgetting something.” There were a bunch more too that I can’t remember at the moment. I wish I still had these terrible old comics.

That Herbert one would elicit a chuckle out of me if it was drawn in the correct style and mixed in with a selection of Larson's own.
