Ahahaha.... I love this comic....but I think the title requires a bit of explanation.

When I was young, there were two good comic strips in the newspaper. (To this day, I still read the comics page every time I find myself around a newspaper.)

My favorite of all time is "Calvin and Hobbes" which pitched a veritable no-hitter from 1985-95, every strip masterfully drawn and impeccably written.

...but up to the top left was Gary Larson's "Farside" to which this strip is a reference. The strip is not really stolen (larcenous) as the title implies, but more an homage to Larson's grand strip.

Grand Larsony

so thats the one haha,I wonder what happened next :laughing: and sorry about missing it, it would seem that I dont read artist's comments but I really do, I must have been in a hurry then when I looked at this very deviation. I like Calvin and Hobbes too, wherein the most that I can't forget about was the strip when he was imagining that he landed on an alien planet.

Yes, the Spaceman Spiff comics were always so beautiful.
