Throw away your calendars: The Far Side is finally coming to the internet

AV Club:

Nearly 25 years after bringing his iconic The Far Side strip to an end, Gary Larson seems to have come around on this whole “internet” thing. The cartoonist has previously pushed back against any digital reproductions of his work—presumably because he was single-handedly keeping the calendar industry alive and the big, hardcover Far Side collections have become family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation—but now the official Far Side website has been updated with what appears to be new art and a message about a “new online era of The Far Side” coming soon.

This is the best news I’ve read all year. I’m one of those who have the big, hardcover Far Side collection books (literally, 20lbs of funny!) and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with after so long away.
