Gary Larson is a renowned American cartoonist known for creating ‘The Far Side’. He initially aspired to be a musician and learned banjo and guitar. After completing his studies he collaborated with his friend to perform at various places for the next three years. He soon lost interest and turned to pursue a career in drawing. He started off as a cartoonist for a magazine and went on to work for the weekly edition of a newspaper under the title ‘Nature’s Way’.

This turned out to be a very successful comic strip and was printed for the next 14 years until Gary’s retirement. The popularity of the comic strip made ‘The Far Side’ a brand and the sale of his combined books recorded a whopping sale of more than forty-five million copies.
