I never used to post Gary Larson’s cartoons because I knew he objected.
He even asked online commenters to please spread the word, so I’d tell people who posted them how much he hated it.
….
For about 20 years, around 1999 to 2019, he actually tried to close down fan sites, sent letters to other websites asking that his work be removed, wrote to columnists and newspapers and anywhere anyone night be listening to beg people not to “steal” his “children.”
With rare exception, he refused interviews and photos, and hated to be written about.
…..
But in 2019 he agreed to a limited selection of his work being put online, and a year or so later began adding a few new cartoons.
Most of it is reruns, but at least he’s still cartooning a little.
….
I’m NOT saying Stel shouldn’t have posted this.
I figure he must have lightened up at least a little about it, now that his stuff is readily available on his website.
Hopefully, it’s ok these days, and just publicity for him, as with other cartoonists…. unless somebody is trying to profit from it.
…
You can get to his site with the link Tigressy posted, or by clicking the same link under “More GoComics” at the foot of any GoComics page.
Now listen to that with two dogs, both high energy, taking three steps to Cleo’s one.
It sounds like The Rockets first day of rehearsal after summer break.
I once had neighbours that had a pet ferret.
I was visiting them one evening and the ferret climbed up my leg under my jeans.
I wasn’t particularly worried (as I’ve said, lots of pets as a kid), but when I used my hands to block further progress, the ferret turned around and came out head first without the least bit of hesitation.

Say cheese!
No, you will get them all excited!
HOW did they get these dogs to behave for the camera?
It’s obedience school graduation.
They know they’d better behave, or they’ll have to go to summer school.
NOBODY wants to go to summer school.
What a fun-looking group!
..
Like.
Very cool!

It’s like the gesso came to life.
Relegate me to the background, will you?
Ha!
…
Yup.
Got it!
Surprisingly easy.
Found it.
wow!!!
Dizzying for me. I can’t look at it too long.
me, too.
Visual dependence. Relying more on the eyes than the inner ear. When the inner ear acts up (sounds like yours does) it can happen.
That’s what my toilet looks like when I flush.
Same colors, too? You ought to have that checked out.
And super strong action….
Don’t tell me that’s only one gallon!
Looks like the definition of a bottomless pit. Or a black hole.
In the ocean, I presume.
Cos a bottomless pit on land might look a little drier.
Larson was the best.
Agreed!
“Was”?!?

I think I’d free them.

I never knew the title or group that did this. I heard it on Men in Black 3 today and looked it up.
All these years later…………….
Great illusion!
They look like notes on a four-barred staff sans clef.
Too bad some aren’t sticking their arms straight out behind them.
so. can anyone read music an tell us what is played?
People I give you the Beatles’ “Come Together” as heavy metal.
You can close your eyes to the video; just groove to the sound,
But I would not want to miss that video!
That looks like a Gene Kelly move.
Or a very poor Mary Poppins impression.
This song is at least 44 years old.
Me too.

It’s illegal to keep ferrets in California, but a lot of people do.
Some one I knew years ago had one that had free rein inside the small houseboat he lived on.
…
It loved his messy sock drawer.
It would crawl into a loose sock and make an immediate U-turn in the toe, so fast you couldn’t really see it…
but within seconds, it would be stretched out, asleep, with its little nose poking out the cuff end.
Sometimes it would wake up and switch socks.
…
I discovered that pet stores sell furry-lined pouches for ferrets to sleep in, shaped pretty much like a sock without a heel.
I absolutely LOVE the owl video! Adorable!
I never heard of owls as pets.
Cleo, there’ll be no sneaking around in the kitchen with those nails!
So true. No midnight raids on the fridge.
The Sam Cooke video is the best. What ingenuity in displaying captions.
I had a cat, way back in my student days, before i became so allergic, who couldn’t stand to hear her nails clicking on the floor.
I could tell by the way she looked around when she heard it.
But would she let me trim her nails?
The gashes on my arms said “no.”
Would she use the carpeted post I bought her for the purpose, even though it was an extravagance on my budget?
What post? It remained pristine.
…
What she wanted was to claw at the wooden parts of all my furniture, till she sharpened and shortened her nails to her liking.
The problem was, aesthetics aside, that the furniture, old and dilapidated as it was, belonged to my landlady.
Who, luckily, must have been used to student renters, and probably bought it all at thrift shops anyway, and didn’t say anything when we moved.

🐰🐣Happy Easter, Cleo Pals! 🐇🐥
And a happy pass-over to you, too!
happy passover, susan!
