More quotes by Gary Larson
Things can be low on the food chain, but that doesn't mean they're lowly.
Gary Larson
The message is not so much that the worms will inherit the Earth, but that all things play a role in nature, even the lowly worm.
Gary Larson
I thought some of my earlier cartoons were not exactly great shakes at the time I drew them. Now I see a certain innocence in them. The humor has a kind of purity to it, I guess. And it works better on some level for me now.
Gary Larson
People try to look for deep meanings in my work. I want to say, 'They're just cartoons, folks. You laugh or you don't.' Gee, I sound shallow. But I don't react to current events or other stimuli. I don't read or watch TV to get ideas. My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.
Gary Larson
I never liked my own species.
Gary Larson
You know those little snow globes that you shake up? I always thought my brain was sort of like that. You know, where you just give it a shake and watch what comes out and shake it again. It's like that.
Gary Larson
Hot oil! We need hot oil!... Forget the water balloons!

Man Swims in Shark Infested Waters, Forgets He's Shark Food.
Gary Larson
You always hear a headline like this, 'Man Killed By Shark', you never hear it from the other perspective, 'Man Swims in Shark Infested Waters, Forgets He's Shark Food'.
Gary Larson
If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, and it hits a mime, does anyone care?
Gary Larson
On Career Day in high school, you don't walk around looking for the cartoon guy.
Gary Larson
I've always considered music stores to be the graveyards of musicians.
Gary Larson
Wait a minute! This is grass! We've been eating grass!
Gary Larson
Humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth.
Gary Larson
The idea for any cartoon (my experience, anyway) is rarely spontaneous. Good ideas usually evolve out of pretty lame ones, and vice versa.
Gary Larson
What is that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?
Gary Larson
I get a couple cups of coffee into me and weird things just start to happen.
Gary Larson
I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.
Gary Larson
Great moments in science: Einstein discovers that time is actually money.
Gary Larson
Theme-park approach to nature. We judge plants and animals by whether they're entertaining to us. We gravitate toward animals and plants that are big, dramatic, beautiful and at eye-level.
