It's automatic, so that there are no multiple threads.

I dont have any outtakes to post (the only variation I had was the addition of a Larson signature that my wife suggested I leave out) but I do have my original to post. I would love to see others originals here as well.

I wondered how he got that elephant in his living room. I just saw this pic in "Most Viewed News Pics" on the UK & Ireland Yahoo! News site. I was amazed to see it online after I saw it here.

this is probably what i should have submitted. i went for the straight quotw of the larson, but neglected to think that, as i was doing an interpretation of the image, i should have a stronger connection.

oops.

i'm still trying to find a copy of the original to post here, but have yet to. two typcial larson people answer the door. standign ther is a man wreathed in flames, poking out his right arm. hence the title - llok out, it's a red hot poker.

bad pun, but it's one of my favourites - stuck with me since high school - and that was a looong time ago.

I knew what I wanted to do straight off so I really don't have any outtakes per say. But I am posting a close-up of the coffee label because it is really the details that help make the image.

My Entry


The Close-up


I know the concept is not a Larson original but I felt it emulated his style. Back in 2001 I had created a Bryce image and always wanted to go back and recreate as a photograph.

My outtake - I didn't use it, because I didn't think it would be legal.

My entry obviously sucked as evidenced by my second brown ribbon. Next time, I guess I won't try to use originality. I'll just copy someone else for the next tribute challenge. ;)

Finally, I get to enter my composite where somebody can look at it. What a terrible irony to keep me out of the only challenge I really cared about. Anyhow, I figured since I couldn't be in the challenge anyway...Forget about the rules!
Sooooo, here is my mighty fine four jpegs into one composite that still leaves a little to be desired. But...Hey...I will keep on trying!

Here is another possibility I was working on for the Far Side challenge. It came about because the Single Tree challenge was in the same week, and everything started "marrying up" inside my head.

Here is my original. Not very good, but I had great fun stacking cows!

So many of the entries had me laughing out loud. Great fun

I have a few outtakes.

I should maybe have gone with this one:


I also tried to get her jumping out to make a "Mission Failed" sort of gag:


This one here was my favourite apart from the blown highlights on the washer. Really pissed me off when I noticed them and it wasn't as if I could ask the cat to repeat the pose.


Then I'd also considered putting a caption in to make it more cartoony but then decided to just let the photo speak for itself:
