Description

“I submitted this years before it actually ran. My editor worried about its impact on some readers, although he personally loved it so much he kept the original on his office wall.

And then one day there was a mix-up over the number of backlogged cartoons, producing a shortage, and this one had to be pulled off the wall and used.”
-Gary Larson in Prehistory of the Far Side

That more writing from Larson than we've ever seen on his strips! As always, his humor cuts to the quick of things!
