Quotes by Gary Larson

Gary Larson

A long time ago, I became aware that many of us have a tendency to lump nature into simplistic categories, such as what we consider beautiful or ugly, important or unimportant.

Or is it starting to fall into just a category, just kind of a shtick thing? I think it’s important for all cartoonists to be honest with themselves about their own sense of humor and what they’re doing.

Thinking

I thought some of my earlier cartoons were not exactly great shakes at the time I drew them. Now I see a certain innocence in them. The humor has a kind of purity to it, I guess. And it works better on some level for me now.
