More quotes by Gary Larson
You should always leave the party 10 minutes before you actually do.
Gary Larson
Thunderstick?... You actually said, 'Thunderstick?'... That, my friend is a Winchester 30.06.
Gary Larson
Great moments in science: Einstein discovers that time is actually money.
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
By the time they had diminished from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to suspect 'Hungry'.
Gary Larson
I never liked my own species.
Gary Larson
I think one thing that's important to maintain is a sense of fear, always doubting yourself... a good dose of insecurity helps your work in some ways.
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
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
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
What is that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?
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 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
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
On Career Day in high school, you don't walk around looking for the cartoon guy.
Gary Larson
I don't read cartoons because I think for the most part the comics don't have an interest for me. There's just nothing there these days that makes me want to go seek them out. I'm not trying to say my work wouldn't have sparked that same reaction from somebody else. There's just nothing there for me personally.
Gary Larson
My future plans are hazy, and I've yet to experience how much cartooning is in my blood and therefore how much I'll miss it. But I have some other interests, especially in music, and I will probably take the opportunity to delve into those things more deeply.

Hot oil! We need hot oil!... Forget the water balloons!
