It is funny how Gary Larson went from a niche cartoon that you would find on mostly biology people’s noticeboards to widely popular meme fodder. He was in the 2020s back in the 1990s? Or the nerds took over? Or… both?
Maybe specifically a false memory, but I think I asked dad to explain Cow Tools. Some other Larson cartoons for sure.
@jhilden Got a Larson compilation when I had to spend time in a hospital due to a knee operation in early ’90s. Made an impact then. Ship of fools / car of idiots…
@jhilden Okay, so I have not one but two of these. The first one is a reprint from 1992, I think I got it in 1993. Both have close to 200 pages, with mostly four cartoons per page. The amount of quality stuff seems to be quite absurd.
One thought after a quick look: there’s a dark side to the far side but it’s not pretentiously edgy like so many things in the ’90s. (Well, the material in these is from the ’80s, but anyway…)
On kyllä silmiä avaava kuvaaja. Joku vois tuolle toimittajalle kertoa, että joskus kuvaajia ei kannata tehdä sillä perusoletuksella, että y-akseli lähtee nollasta. Kuten tässä tilanteessa, jossa arvot vaihtelevat 58,9 ja 60,1 välillä...
