Worth noting is Gary Larson's original response to the WWW was an open letter asking fans not to post his cartoons online. Akin to the Bill Gates letter on copying software, but, perhaps, more understandable. This website is a reversal of that original position. He was thoughtful then, and is thoughtful now. The original letter: https://www.portmann.com/farside/index.html?home.html And the reversal: https://www.thefa…

I have several well-worn Far Side collections, including one with a lovely introduction by Jane Goodall, which has a funny story behind it [1] Linking my favorite below [2] > Donning his new canine decoder, Professor Schwarzman becomes the first human being on Earth to hear what barking dogs are actually saying. [1] http://www.hopkinsandcompany.com/Books/The%20Complete%20Far%... [2] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FNZar0…

that's funny, because some comedian stole the idea, and had all the dogs saying "Fuck you! Fuck you!"

I still always think of that when I hear dogs barking.

Two Far Side mentions (at least) for our moderator? And here I envisioned him as a much younger man.

My favourite was only published in his hardcover book. Newspapers universally rejected it: http://doubleplusundead.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/far-side...

I feel wicked laughing at this.
