In summary, The Far Side is an online comic collection by cartoonist Gary Larson, who recently decided to release an online version of his work. The website has a science section and a letter from Larson explaining his decision. The site also features an interview with Larson from the New York Times. The website uses cookies for advertising purposes, but it is possible to remove the cookie setting acceptance dialog. Larson is still alive, as indicated by his T-shirt in the website's banner. However, he has requested that people not share his cartoons without permission due to copyright concerns.

Alas, the site is light on content, and heavy on cookie policy:
sponsor (AMU) said:

By continuing to use this website, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described in our Privacy Policy.
[Privacy Policy link disabled]

I used 'Inspect > Select element > [right click] > Hide element' to remove the sponsor's displayed cookie setting acceptance dialog and the site didn't set any cookies.

Wow, I just happened to be thinking about The Far Side this morning, and now I see this. I was wondering if Larson was still alive!

In the cartoon of him on his site's banner, his T-shirt says "STILL ALIVE" -- I'd post it here under fair use, but in deference to the courteous request in his letter, that people please take down copies of his cartoons that are published without permission of the copyright holder, and in keeping with PF's diligence about not violating copyright, I'll restrain myself. 😌
