Tim Whyatt is an Aussie does cartoons that are of similar humor as Gary Larson.

Thanks for that! I really miss the Far Side and have not heard of this guy before. I recently discovered Scott Hilburn, whose calendars I'm now using on my office wall to replace the no longer available Far Side calendars.

I got a chuckle out of the March 5 NonSequitur comic . . . http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2014/03/05#.UxiS-5DnaUk

I have found I like Tundra comics also.  I have never seen it in a paper, but I have a couple of his comic collection books.

My all time favorite Larson is the one with the cows standing upright smoking.  One of them yell Car! as a vehicle comes over a hill.  The next box shows them all back down on all fours like one would expect cows to be.

My favorite Far Side was the dog hanging out of the car window yelling to the neighbor's dog "Hey, I'm going to get tutored!"
