  • This is pretty middle-of-the-road for Larson’s style, just how he draws people. But read enough of these and you’ll find examples of ugly people as morally flawed (or vice versa), and the way he deals with “nerds” was a product of its time that has to seem pretty retrograde to younger people nowadays.

    It doesn’t ruin The Far Side for me, but stands out in a “you wouldn’t do that now” kind of way.




  • I swear I don’t get why people claim that.

    They may be exaggerating, but it’s still way less reflective than a conventional screen. (The matte surface diffuses the light quite a bit, so you’ll never see your own reflection or anything like that.) Coated paper reflects intense light too, but isn’t anything close to a mirror, so maybe that’s a better comparison.











  • That example is indeed what I meant. What’s awful about it?

    edit: I use a customized ls alias. Most of the time it’s fine, and when I occasionally need the default output, I can type /bin/ls, no new alias to memorize. The history command suggests I do this pretty infrequently, though ymmv.
