Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

      Gary Larson retiring at 45 is a little like Mozart dying at 35. What a loss.https://twitter.com/TheFarSide_ish/status/1054369664103411712 …

      Yes, but remember that he took a sabbatical, and when he came back, he wasn't as funny. Berke Breathed of "Bloom County" took a sabbatical after a serious accident, and when he returned, same thing. Genius is fragile.

      The Berke Breathed example still baffles me. It was as if his brain had been scrambled. The strip wasn't just worse; it was unrecognizable and awful--in a way that made you think (this sounds crazy) that he was trying to make it awful.

          Don't forget Bill Watterson of Calvin & Hobbes. The late 80s-early 90s had a number of great strips that all burned out their authors.
