The Flickr photoset of people recreating Gary Larson’s Far Side cartoons was a hoot -and so is this competition from Worth 1000. The challenge: recreate a Far Side cartoon using your Photoshop skills. Link -via Geek Like Me

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

    Hmm… it’s just not the same. Out of all the ones I looked at, only did “God at his computer” really captured the Gary Larson feel. The distant second was the sheep watching the news. IMHO that is.

    Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes will always be my two favorite comics.

    Gotta agree with Gaulder: probably fun for the people who participated but ultimately not even as funny as Larson.

    It is not the same. I did like the grizzlies though.
    I always liked the buzzards with one doing the “I’m a cowby. Howdy Howdy Howdy.”

    Okay, the people and real animals attempts were clever, and not near as funny as Larson’s originals. But this is just run-of-the-mill Photoshoppery swill.

    Neat idea, I must say. Most did not capture the charm of the original comics, but Gary Larson is a hard act to follow.

    umm… is anyone a little creeped out by the cats front legs or is it just me??

    The cat one is the best of a very poor bunch of photoshops. Clinton, just laugh and pretend you understand the joke.

    Only a couple of good ‘uns. I’d like to see some real pros take this on.

    Man, I couldn’t stop laughing at the cat picture. The look on it’s face says it all…and the peg legs.
