      Anyone know if there’s an easy place to find all of the new comics? That cub scout one isn’t available on the site anymore. Kind of weird that they’re trying to close off access to them.

        Gary Larson was(/is?) famously very against any sharing of his work online:

        Okay, “scary” might be a little melodramatic, but years ago, when I slowly started realizing I had a second publisher and distributor of my work, known as Anyone With a Scanner & Associates, I did find it unsettling enough to write an open letter to “whom it may concern,” explaining — best as I could — why I preferred that the people doing this would kindly refrain. I won’t rehash it all here, but my powers of persuasion had at least some impact, and many of my fans were very understanding and responsive. Maybe it takes a warped mind to understand a warped mind. (No, seriously, my thanks to those who removed my cartoons willingly, or even begrudgingly.)

        From here: https://www.thefarside.com/about/48/a-letter-from-gary-larson

        He goes on to talk about his official website as it is now (2019) and in general I think he still prefers to keep things locked down.
