I think snakes would probably use tunnels, but I think snakes would probably use just as much concrete as us. We don’t use concrete because we like how it looks, we use it despite it’s looks. Concrete is just cheap and useful. It wouldn’t be any less useful for snakes. Though snakes would probably coat the concrete in something softer & higher friction, like rubber.
I either hate or love The Far Side. This one hits the spot.
I bought a really old house and some years later an old local guy came in (for completely different reasons), and asked “So you got rid of all the holes?”
And I go “What holes?”
“Yeah the owners some 30 years ago put holes in all the walls to run his train track all over the house.”
I don’t. They were patched over by whoever lived here in the meantime.
But it explains why all my walls are patchwork of different materials.
Like I wanted to change the floor and was happily surprised by the old wooden floor, but then there was 2’x2’ part missing where the chimney which was removed in 1930 was… That’s the sort of house.
I’ve been around most of it, but it still surprises me.
I contemplated the same question yesterday and quickly came to the conclusion that the copyright year of each cartoon is already included in the picture, So I’m already satisfied with that.
and to expect OP to research & determine the exact date of original publication would be a lot of pointless effort.
I’m fine with the current modern date being posted on these because we are living in the present and I could easily glance at these and know whether or not I’ve read it before, because oh my gosh it’s seven December and that is right now!
there’s an official web page? does anyone else remember back during at least the first 10 years the internet existed Gary Larson refused to participate and he told everyone DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT MY ARTWORK ON THE INTERNET!
And then one day I noticed him resurfacing, someone had introduced him to digital art, he could create and color in his cartoons purely digitally, and he loved it. He said he was just doing it for fun but don’t expect him to make a job of it,
And now I see this, all his old art is being presented on Lemmy and I assumed it was unauthorized by Larson but perhaps he authorizes it now!
