Quoted:
In high school a friend of mine was a really big fan of that strip. Gary Larson appeared at a book signing at a local mall and my friend went to get his book signed and to get an explanation for the one cartoon he did not get. He asked Larson, what does this mean?
http://i48.tinypic.com/28br2ol.jpg
Mr Larson explained he was just thinking, If cows had tools........what would they look like?

Larson later admitted that he had regrets about making one of the tools look like a crude hand saw.  The thought that one confused people into thinking that they had to figure out what the other tools were used for as well.
 


I still don't get it....

I love the "Equine Veterinary Exam" one the best, followed closely by the one about Horse Hospitals where all the staffers are carrying guns to shoot the horses.

I also love the one where the cow catches his neighbor grilling steaks.

How about the one with the bear sitting up in the coffin at his own funeral saying "I was HIBERNATING!!"

Detectives standing over Big Bird..."The wounds seem to be caused by bird shot ... big bird shot."

In NASA control center and a clown is at one of the control boards.  One of the scientists points to him and says to another scientist "Hey, what does that clown think he's doing?"


Anyone have the one where the guy in the marble factory has a rifle and the caption is something like..."Harold had finally lost his marbles."?

Don't have the actual comic, but the caption read "Vern, Chuck and the Pope go fishing."

The three fishermen were dressed identically, except the Pope's hat was really tall.

Jeopardy.  God has 1,000,000 points, Einstein has 250,000, and Fred has -250.

Great one, but it is actually the "Maestro".





Another of my favorites along those lines:





A dog watching his master, who looks like a representation of Leonardo DaVinci, paint a picture of a woman, has a thought bubble that says.  "Where is my supper? One of the 'great masters' indeed!"
Another favorite:  Polar bear pushing a frozen treat cart across an ice floe.  On the side it says "Eskimo Thighs".

I love the one of Moses walking down with the ten commandments on two tablets, and he's staring down at a broken third tablet that he dropped. Can't remember the caption... but it cracked me up.

Doesn't seem anti-hunting to me.

Seems like he's poking fun at how people like to exaggerate (big fish that got away story) or otherwise embellish... thus the bear who didn't have a clue gets stuffed to look like a bear that was about to rip the hunters head off when it got shot at 5 yards.

::shrug:: But I could be wrong.
