Default Far Side creator Gary Larson publishes first new cartoons in 25 years

After coming out of retirement, the cartoonist says digital technology has allowed him to rediscover the fun of drawing

Article here.
...A few years ago, he decided to try working on the project with a digital tablet rather than with a pen.

“I got one, fired it up, and lo and behold, something totally unexpected happened: within moments, I was having fun drawing again. I was stunned at all the tools the thing offered, all the creative potential it contained. I simply had no idea how far these things had evolved,” he wrote. “Perhaps fittingly, the first thing I drew was a caveman.”

... I hail from a world of pen and ink, and suddenly I was feeling like I was sitting at the controls of a 747. But as overwhelmed as I was, there was still something familiar there – a sense of adventure..."

It’s ironic, the last ever to be made B747 is rolling off the line now.
I miss The Far Side. It spoke to my humor bone

That’s great news.

If there’s one thing we need to survive these apocalyptic times, it’s good cartoons. Well, and a can opener.

I forgot about these cartoons until I saw a news outlet with an article this morning. Remember those desk calendars? They were everywhere in the early/mid-90s.

I had the good luck to look exactly like that kid at the time that comic was published. I took a lot of ribbing over it.

I love “The Far Side”, my favorites were the ones with dogs. I always figured Gary Larson must be a fellow dog lover.

BTW, God bless Mr. Larson for sharing his humor, we are really in need of some good clean humor these days.

I can see this thread could take on a life of its own and become a mini-repository of Far Side favorites- which could run for many pages

Thank you, Mr. Larson. You are a breath of fresh air in trying times. Draw long and prosper.

I have said it here before.

I would love to be in a bar booth with Gary Larson, Bill Watterson and Berke Breathed.

The return of The Far Side is the only good news in 2020. I’ve had Far Side cartoons tacked up over my desk for decades. Recently I’ve run across younger staff who, to my horror, have never heard of the Far Side. Gary Larson’s return is long overdue.

The best thing I saw on the website is that the Far Side page a day calendar will be back for 2021. One more reason to look forward to 2021.

Maybe you could be claiming image royalties Just think- they could fund a couple more guns.

Ah...yes. I remember Rusty. Hopefully he’ll be back.

This was one of my favorites.
