There is more truth to this than humor, honestly. I read The Far Side in the newspapers a lot in the early 90s, but I certainly didn't see every single one. Far from it, actually. I'd say I probably saw The Far Side about ten times a month. Now I've read through his entire collection at least four times (starting years after I started cartooning) and I am absolutely shocked how many of my cartoons are actually concepts that Gary Larson drew decades before I even ''thought'' of it! I sincerely worry that people will think I just tried to rip him off!
