This guy can’t even come up with his own style… stealing from the Far Side is a sin. A fucking sin.

@... AgZed : I really didn’t think my comment would get you so upset! I stand by my opinion that the creator is heavily influenced by Larson, and either deliberately or subconsciously ripped his style right off.

Those people are totally copped from Larson. The single line representing the eyes, the glasses with no pupils… they are mild knockoffs of Larson’s characters.

I never implied that Gary was the first to do the one-panel-with-caption format, so that argument is off topic. Besides, Bill Keane is a shitty comic writer and illustrator. How his son became one of Disney’s best animators, I don’t know. And before Keane, even before the Victorian era, one panel comics were quite popular.

I’m not trying to be a dick, and I am not trying to one-up you or anything, but yes this guy is definitely ripping off Gary Larson, and fuck that boring bastard Bill Keane.

@asdf: sorry, I was using the term loosely, like Kleenex and Band-aid.

I wasn’t trying to piss you all off here.
@MrDooves: I agree. It wasn’t my intention to compare them in that way. He does indeed transcend the boundaries of human existence….

which is why my ass gets chapped every time someone tries to immitate, as we see here with this little gem.

Listen folks, we’re all on the same page: Gary Larson is the shit. We’re all agreeing on that topic. People who shamelessly cop his style, rather than actually summoning the creativity necessary to come up with their own style… they irritate me.
