Cartoonists...
Posted by: seagull on 02 December 2004
The 'baby' thread in the Hi-fi Corner reminded me of the classic Far Side cartoon...
The one with two pilots sitting on top of a large young person lying a runway, with a control tower in the background. One of the pilots is saying "Magnetos...check! Radios...Check! OK, let's get this baby off the ground...."
I can't/won't find a copy of it as Gary Larsson doesn't like his stuff appearing on the web and I wouldn't want to get Naim into trouble
Who are your favourite cartoonists and why?
Your starters for 10...
Gary Larsson - The Far Side. A genius/madman whose take on life has changed mine.
Scott Adams - Dilbert. He is a hero (as is Wally) and we all know a "pointy haired boss". I work in IT and too many of the characters and situations have happened to me.

Another vote for Dilbert.
I confess here that I've always had great trouble understanding Gary Larson. Wazzat ???
Oh, and Robotman anyone ?
This is also the occasion to remember Dik Browne, the genius behind the early Hagar the Horrible. His son, on the other hand, is simply devoid of all humour and just cashes in on his father's wit. Well to be honest I'd do the same

I still laugh at some of the old Far Side cartoons.
Have you ever seen the 'rejects'? The ones that were rejected by the editor.
These never made it to the American newspapers.
Somehow, this one was stuck in my mind when I read the post in the Hi-fi Corner about a 19-month old kid.

Always enjoyed reading the Giles annual on Christmas Day, innit.
