The 10 Best Far Side Comics About Cats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is no denying that when it came to The Far Side, Gary Larson was all about our canine companions. However, that doesn't mean he ignored the other familiar pets: fish, birds, and, of course, cats. While cats are popular, they always seem to fade into the background in Larson's work, and many strips explore how dogs and cats interact instead of giving felines the spotlight. Once you do some digging, you can see that Larson had a fondness for cats, with many strips giving cats hilarious story
The 10 Best Far Side Comics About Music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reading The Far Side gives the clearest glimpse of who Larson was as a person, and when it comes to music, he seems to have had a pretty distinct favorite genre, with several strips focused on jazz. At the same time, he poked fun at everything from classical music to crooners, though it is less obvious whether he found something funny in those genres. Given his private nature, there is undeniably some ambiguity about what music Larson did or did not enjoy, but his comic strips were always the sa
8 Classic Sci-Fi Movies With Perfect Endings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The creative freedom given to directors and screenwriters tackling the science-fiction genre has produced some of the best climaxes in film history. This is evident in modern classics such as The Vast of Night (2019), Arrival (2016), Annihilation (2018), Nope (2022), and Foe (2023), among others.

The cartoonist was more likely to indulge in his love of dogs, dinosaurs, or the scientific process. While it's difficult to picture Larson watching a lot of TV in his downtime, there is no denying the medium's influence on him. These comic strips highlight what seem to be Larson's favorite shows (Star Trek), as well as an understanding of popular TV from the past
The 10 Greatest Peanuts Comic Strips of the 1970s, Ranked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Debuting on Oct. 2, 1950, Peanuts gave Charles Schulz two decades to refine his visual style and comedic timing. The 1970s were one of the strip's best eras and my personal favorite to revisit in the sublime complete edition published by Fantagraphics. While there are plenty of familiar jokes, the comic strips of the era tell a wide variety of stories, too. Although I didn't include Red Baron on this list, I had to include others that I found funnier. It's worth noting that the Peanuts run in th
