- <p> RETIRING. GARY LARSON, 44, cartoonist; after 15 years of drawing
- the daily Far Side cartoon; in Seattle, Washington. Citing fatigue
- and a feared spot in "the Graveyard of Mediocre Cartoons," Larson
- announced that come January, his often tasteless, always offbeat
- universe of hapless geeks, beehived matrons and suburbanized
- wildlife will no longer amuse and unsettle the readers of nearly
- 1,900 newspapers. The 1991 Cartoonist of the Year will limit
- his slapstick surrealism to books and other projects.
