For me Gary Larson is a close second to Watterson.

我觉得“牛的工具”（Cow tools）那一格引发的疯狂简直太搞笑了。没人搞懂那个梗，引起的困惑大到甚至上了新闻。Larson 在《The Prehistory of The Far Side》里聊过这事。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_Tools?wprov=sfla1
I found the madness unleashed by the "Cow tools" panel hilarious. No one got the joke and it generated so much confusion the strip made the news. Larson talks about it The Prehistory of The Far Side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_Tools?wprov=sfla1
这就是 Gary Larson 在《The Prehistory of the Far Side》里提到的那些有趣小怪事之一：报业分销辛迪加的配字错误，导致《Far Side》和《Dennis the Menace》的漫画配字搞混调换了几次，搞出了极其离谱诡异的效果。
That's one of the fun little oddities Gary Larson talks about in "The Prehistory of the Far Side", where syndication captioning errors led to a couple of swaps of Far Side and Dennis the Menace cartoons, with weird results.

> 虽然当时我可能只看懂了 30% 左右。小时候我爸妈给我买了一本《Far Side》合集，那些漫画我顶多只能看懂 15%。但它依然超级好看；长大成人后，我简直惊叹于 Larson 居然能从单格漫画（single-pane comics）里榨出这么多的内容和笑料。他……

对我来说，《Calvin and Hobbes》通常都很棒，偶尔还堪称绝妙。但我最怀念的漫画还是 Gary Larson 的《Far Side》。
For me, Calvin and Hobbes was usually good and occasionally great. The comic I miss the most though is Gary Larson's Far Side.
在我心中 Gary Larson 仅次于 Watterson。话说回来，这大概是我最喜欢的《Far Side》漫画之一了，而且像这样精彩的还有一大堆：https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F... 排第三的要么是 Franquin 的加斯顿（Gaston）宇宙，要么是 Goscinny 的作品集……
