Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gary Larson's The Far Side burst onto the scene in 1980, bringing something entirely new to the world of newspaper comics. Rather than lovable recurring characters reeling off family-friendly gags, Larson's comic offered readers single-image vignettes - one-panel windows into a world that's often surreal and even morbid, where humans are just another animal in a dangerous and unpredictable world.
In the story of 'Pink Shadow,' there's a definite impression of a book Larson cites as a childhood inspiration, Mr. Bear Squash-You-All-Flat. Morrell Gipson's children's book follows a giant bear who aggressively sits on various victims It's easy to see how a mind influenced by Mr. Bear would think up the Pink Shadow decades later.
This comic is based around the goofy reversal of the idea that the captain goes down with the ship, but Larson also manages to tell a story - the two lifeboats filled with four people and the captain rowing away establish a narrative where the captain, not wanting to live up to his duties, has tricked the chef into taking his place. While The Far Side is a gag strip, it's worth noting how - with some minimalist art and two sentences - Larson can so clearly set up this diabolical tale.
6 Eating in Bed This April 30 Comic Brings Back an Early Far Side Idea Far Side's dragons aren't as famous as its cows, but they've been around since the second ever Far Side comic in January 1980. In fact, readers who want to imagine Larson's comic as one big connected universe could even see the two mythological beasts as the same characters, now happily settled down
