Alas, the site is light on content, and heavy on cookie policy:BillTre said:

Wow, I just happened to be thinking about The Far Side this morning, and now I see this. I was wondering if Larson was still alive!

In the cartoon of him on his site's banner, his T-shirt says "STILL ALIVE" -- I'd post it here under fair use, but in deference to the courteous request in his letter, that people please take down copies of his cartoons that are published without permission of the copyright holder, and in keeping with PF's diligence about not violating copyright, I'll restrain myself.jtbell said:
