https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/arts/the-far-side-gary-larson-comic.html official web site: https://www.thefarside.com I was a really big fan of the strip so I'm hoping when it returns that it's not a pale shadow of it's former self.
Yes, I've been saying for a while that Far Side should follow in Bloom County's footsteps (I even worked it into my own web comic at some point). But that little teaser has been on the site for weeks now with no further developments. Technically, it has not been confirmed that it will involve any new material.
There's a thread going on with discussion currently: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the-far-side.299142/
So it looks like the new website is merely an official repository for the comic strip and Gary doesn't have any intentions of creating any new comics. But you don't have to take my word for it...
That's very disappointing, but it's kind of what I feared. Not even a hint of interest in doing new stuff.
So hyped. Cannot wait. The Verge talks about it: https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/17/21026417/the-far-side-gary-larson-comic-website-first-time
It's just another pointless article that already tells us what we know and gives us no idea of where they found out Larson will be doing new ones from time-to-time. It's pretty much click bait.
