Larson rarely speaks to the press (prior to an email interview in today’s New York Times, I believe his last one was in 2003), but in 2007, he published an open letter online. In the absence of an official archive, fans took to posting and hosting the comics themselves. It looked the same a few months ago as it did in 2001. Before it was updated earlier this year with a “coming soon” graphic, The Far Side’s website had not changed in more than 18 years. It’s even more surprising when you consider that The Far Side has been helping to shape the culture of the internet since the very start.īeginning today, will offer an assorted collection of rotating daily strips, as well as strips grouped by themes. Yet it has never been made available online in any official capacity. With respect to Calvin and Hobbes and the one Garfield where Jon Arbuckle maybe drinks dog semen, The Far Side is, in my (and many others’) opinions, the greatest comic strip of all time. This may seem like a baseline expectation for a beloved comic strip, but for Larson, it’s a big deal. This morning, the website of Gary Larson’s famed comic, The Far Side, started displaying strips from the series.
