“People try to look for deep meanings in my work. I want to say, 'They're just cartoons, folks. You laugh or you don't.' Gee, I sound shallow. But I don't react to current events or other stimuli. I don't read or watch TV to get ideas. My work is basically sitting down at the drawing table and getting silly.” PeopleWantTryingLooksIdeasSoundWatchesLaughingEventsTvsSittingTablesFolksCurrentsDrawingSillyShallowCartoonStimulusSitting DownCurrent EventsDeep Meaning Author:Gary Larson
“I kept listening, kept going to see people, kept sitting in with people, kept listening to records.

“The time I like listening to music most on headphones is, I have a game I play with my brother, he's a musician as well.And he sends me MIDI files of keyboard pieces. So, these are pieces where I just get a MIDI file; I don't know what instrument he was playing them on; I know nothing about his section of the sound of the piece, and then when I'm sitting on trains I do a lot of train travel I turn them into pieces of music. And I love to do that; it's my favorite hobby.” KnowsWellsPlayTurnsGamesSoundPiecesBrotherListeningMusicianSittingInstrumentsTrainMy FavoriteMy BrotherHobbiesSectionsListening To MusicFilesKeyboardsHeadphonesMidiFavorite Hobby Author:Brian Eno
