10 Daily Australia reports on what appears to be cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of the 1980-95 Far Side newspaper strips, planning on returning to the scene on the web:
While we're on the subject of newspaper strips, the Kansas City Star reported that editor Lee Salem of Universal Press Syndicate, the publisher behind strips like Fox Trot and Calvin & Hobbes, passed away at age 73.
Well, it appears the illustrator has warmed up to the idea of the web, with an update to The Far Side website signalling a comeback of some sort.It's not clear whether it's for real or just online sales of his past creations. But if Larson avoids political correctness in what he's planning, he'll be accomplishing something in an era where humor's sadly being destroyed by "wokeness".
The site's homepage now displays a fresh illustration of a man thawing out a block of ice with classic Larson characters stuck inside.
"Uncommon, unreal, and (soon-to-be) unfrozen," the caption reads.
"A new online era of The Far Side is coming!"
