Worth noting is Gary Larson's original response to the WWW was an open letter asking fans not to post his cartoons online. Akin to the Bill Gates letter on copying software, but, perhaps, more understandable. This website is a reversal of that original position. He was thoughtful then, and is thoughtful now.

The original letter: https://www.portmann.com/farside/index.html?home.html

And the reversal: https://www.thefarside.com/about/48/a-letter-from-gary-larso...

... for cartoons, my favourite has always been:

Cow: "Wendell... I'm not content"
