Fans reenact Far Side cartoons
Have you been feeling deprived ever since Gary Larson stopped drawing The Far Side comic strip 14 years ago this week? Apparently you're not alone.
Fans of the wonderfully twisted and oft-imitated cartoon have started a Flickr site where they post reenactments of their favorite Far Side moments.
Some of the homages work better than others, but they all aspire to the spirit of the master. Liberal use of Photoshop is permitted but is no guarantee of the best results.
So far, no entries of one of my favorites: several geezers sitting on the porch of the Cartoonists Retirement Home with one of them proclaiming with arms stretched wide, "Oh, yeah? Well I once drew a nose THIS big!"
For those craving the real thing, Andrews McMeel published The Complete Far Side in 2003 and sells it for $150.
Thanks to The Inquisitr for the link to the Flickr fan site.
