The last Far Side
Here Comes Johnny Yen Again...: Follow the Grey-Brick Road...
Reminded me I had this stashed away. The very last of Gary Larsons fine series, The Far Side.

I love The Far Side, and had never seen the final cartoon! That was awesome! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to show you some of the great Red Meat comics from the collection I picked up in Arizona. Do you get that out there?
ReplyDeleteJY: My pleasure, it was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteKirby: Never heard of Red Meat, we don't get it here. Maybe it could replace Blondie...
you know, Larson once said he'd like to open up a restaurant that served only cold cereal....
ReplyDeletewhat a mind!!
Oh, Kirby: I've got a Red Meat tee-shirt with the pipe-smokin' dad walking with a handgun and no shirt. Caption says: "not now, honeycakes, I'm on Nude Patrol!!"
BO: That is Larsons mind alright. The San Francisco Chronicle was the first paper to run his strip, the editor had him come in to see what the deal was with this "weirdo", and the rest was history.
ReplyDeleteThe Reader, the main free paper here in Chicago carries Red Meat.
ReplyDeleteBoy, rereading that, did that sound wrong or what?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it either - very Bob Newhart-like!
ReplyDeleteI like to read Prince Valiant on sundays. The rest of the week it's Pickles
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Far Side is one with 2 deer. One has a bulleye on it's side. The caption is " Bummer of a birthmark, Dude".
ReplyDeleteRed Meat sounds interesting. Twisted? That's good!
Prince Valiant is great. Nice hair. I read Crankshaft because it reminds me of my father-in-law. Curmudgeons of the world unite.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to Gary Larson?
ReplyDeleteJY: It sounded just right to me - but that's me!
ReplyDeleteGKL: I hadn't thought of it that way, you are right.
Cheer: Prince valiant? It's like I don't even know you... ;^)
Sandi: Crankshaft is great, especially when lighting his BBQ.
