The Far Side's humor was patiently developed.
Summary Gary Larson began publishing his notorious comic strip The Far Side when he was nearly thirty years old – though as one installment made clear, his signature sense of humor developed much earlier than that. Larson once published one of his drawings from when he was just seven years old, and it was pure Far Side.
The Far Side ran in newspapers daily from 1980 through the start of 1995. In 2020, Gary Larson resumed sporadically publishing Far Side panels online, for the first time in a quarter of a century. Larson treated readers to his throwback "age seven" drawing on July 17, 1986. For those familiar with The Far Side, the formative nature of the work is evident upon closer examination. Though Larson used stick figures at times during Far Side's run, the line work is not as precise here as in his mature drawings. Similarly, the punchline is too overt for his later tastes, which ranged from inventive to quixotic. That said, the drawing has the tone and the form of The Far Side.
