I might have to get some books on Bill Watterson. I've bought almost 
everything I could find on Gary Larson, and it's proved to be very 
interesting. From the books he's written, he's nothing like I imagined. I 
dare say he's "cranky and mean" also. = )

Also, Gary Larson is super tight on copyright protection. I'm pretty sure 
that there are no Far Side Comics on the net.... legally. Last I checked, 
he did not want the Internet medium to be a distribution for his "children" 
as he calls them. (His artwork.)
