ted danson on cheers with cows from gary larson's far side
Gary Larson's The Far Side is known as perhaps the funniest comic strip of all time, while Cheers has the same reputation among sitcom fans, so it's an amazing treat that the two actually combined. Not only did Cheers give fans a great joke that depended on The Far Side, but the sitcom even used a real Gary Larson comic to do it.
✕ Remove Ads Cheers isn't alone in paying tribute to The Far Side - Robin Williams, Steve Martin and The Simpsons have all shown love for Larson's creation. Woody: I just meant I don't get The Far Side in my newspaper at home, but thanks for treating me like a one-year-old. Larson has since explained that the 'Cow Tools' comic is just an "exercise in silliness," imagining the bizarre tools cows would make if they could, with no hidden meaning or point. However, fans didn't understand the comic, with so many writing to the newspapers carrying Far Side that it made national news. Larson often used cows in The Far Side explaining that he feels they "blur the line between tragedy and humor" in a 1998 interview with The New York Times.
✕ Remove Ads I am very sorry to report, given the occasion of this very important publication, that many of the scenes depicted in this book are actually false. Several years ago I began to suspect the veracity of a few of the events portrayed by Larson."Wait a minute," I thought."A chicken couldn't confess to murdering Old MacDonald; Old MacDonald was a fictitious character.
