Alright, I've been looking for one for a long, long time... Anyone have it?
It's one with vultures circling. Underneath them is an old couple, and the gal is saying something like "For god's sake, Vern, move around once in a while".
Please?

I tried to find my favorite. It has three bears on the wall one of which has his tongue flapping out and the caption says "this one thought he was out of range".
Instead I found this, sorry.
A Note from Gary Larson
RE: Online Use of Far Side Cartoons
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I'm walking a fine line here.
On the one hand, I confess to finding it quite flattering that some of my fans have created web sites displaying and / or distributing my work on the Internet. And, on the other, I'm struggling to find the words that convincingly but sensitively persuade these Far Side enthusiasts to "cease and desist" before they have to read these words from some lawyer.
What impact this unauthorized use has had (and is having) in tangible terms is, naturally, of great concern to my publishers and therefore to me -- but it's not the focus of this letter. My effort here is to try and speak to the intangible impact, the emotional cost to me, personally, of seeing my work collected, digitized, and offered up in cyberspace beyond my control.
Years ago I was having lunch one day with the cartoonist Richard Guindon, and the subject came up how neither one of us ever solicited or accepted ideas from others. But, until Richard summed it up quite neatly, I never really understood my own aversions to doing this: "It's like having someone else write in your diary," he said. And how true that statement rang with me. In effect, we drew cartoons that we hoped would be entertaining or, at the very least, not boring; but regardless, they would always come from an intensely personal, and therefore original perspective.
To attempt to be "funny" is a very scary, risk-laden proposition. (Ask any stand-up comic who has ever "bombed "on stage.) But if there was ever an axiom to follow in this business, it would be this: be honest to yourself and -- most important -- respect your audience.
So, in a nutshell (probably an unfortunate choice of words for me), I only ask that this respect be returned, and the way for anyone to do that is to please, please refrain from putting The Far Side out on the Internet. These cartoons are my "children," of sorts, and like a parent, I'm concerned about where they go at night without telling me. And, seeing them at someone's web site is like getting the call at 2:00 a.m. that goes, "Uh, Dad, you're not going to like this much, but guess where I am."
I hope my explanation helps you to understand the importance this has for me, personally, and why I'm making this request.
Please send my "kids" home. I'll be eternally grateful.
Most respectfully,
Gary Larson

Good post. I'll try to refrain from this sort of behavior because I respect Mr. Larson's genius.
Metallica can kiss my butt though.

I always loved "cat fud" :D
larson is fantastic, so much :rofl
as for the letter ... well I reckon if any of these made you laugh and you're one of the few people on the planet that doesnt own a larson book ... go buy one!

I fondly remember two...
One was in an office with the typical Larson secretary and a mummy sitting on the couch reading a newspaper and she was speaking into the intercom something like 'Mr. Benson there's a man out here to see you.. something about a curse.. should I send him in?'
The other one, same secretary, with this screwed up looking monster leaning over here saying 'never mind the name tell him some THING is here to see him'.
Greatness

Speaking of Metallica... a commentary on Youtube I read last night in regard to the new Loutallica album:
"Lars finally made an album that is in no danger of ever being downloaded for free." :D

One of my favorites from the late 80's .
No Caption , just a giant fly driving a car , with a little diamond shaped sign in the rear window that reads : Maggots Onboard .
