You are correct. The Gary Larson waking up in Kansas sequence was so perfect I didn’t look at the 1995 trademark! Big Grin

I thought that was new, too. Big Grin Looks like there’s going to be some new content starting in 2020.

“And finally, beginning in 2020, and commemorating the fortieth anniversary of The Far Side, we will periodically unveil new work by the man himself! In truth, we really have no idea what might show up. But, on the other hand, what’s changed?”

HEY! No false alarms!!!

The 1995 copyright in the corner of that one was a hint. Of course, they're still stinking' funny!

I know there was interest in the "New Stuff" well it was released now.

Also interesting to read that he is using a Tablet for the panels and the new color and artwork does come across a something different.




A few Sigs and some others

Though I don't think I ever actually saw that one, I can still easily picture it. I told my wife and we shared a really big, good laugh. Thanks for posting, we needed that.

Hate to say it, but the new stuff doesn't quite do it for me.

OTOH, I'm enjoying the crap out of the walk down memory lane via the Daily Dose!
