HN comment orderWonderful news! Gary Larson has always been my favorite cartoonist. Hilarious visual puns that teeter between dark and light humor so eloquently in a single pane. Really looking forward to more, thanks for coming back Gary! (...now I’m off to slip Bill Watterson a tablet and stylus and see if we can get some new C&H :)
Been meaning to post this but if you're interested, I set up a RSS feed for the daily Far Side comic[0]. It's a simple scraper that runs daily on GitHub actions and creates an entry for the 2-5 comics and captions of the day. Source code is on GitHub.[1] I'll have to look into this new section of the website and see about adding that to the feed. [0]: https://sphars.github.io/rss-feeds/feeds/the_far_side/feed.x...
