Gary Larson is a retired American cartoonist, best known for his cartoons published under the title ‘The Far Side’. Through his cartoons he generally discussed unlikely events, bizarre catastrophes and other social scenarios through an anthropomorphic perspective of the world. His cartoons involved nature and animals to a great extent. In the fifteen years beginning from 1980, this comic strip has been syndicated and published in more than 1900 Daily and Sunday Weekly newspapers around the world. Gary Larson retired from his profession at a time when he felt that the discussed themes were getting repetitive, and that would lead to his cartoons to lose its value. Other than his cartoon career, Gary Larson has worked on publishing books based on his cartoons and has also produced films based on the same. He is extremely protective of his work and thus none of his comics are available online or for public viewing as he regards his work as personal. On a personal front, he has stated that he is a strict environmentalist and that wildlife protection was his top priority.
