Primal Knife Cartoon (Far Side)

James Mattis · Jan 31, 2000

Knives are the core technology of our species. All else not found in nature follows. Here's Gary Larson's way of saying it, found in an old newspaper clipping that surfaced the other day:

If you like Gary Larson's cartoons, you'll want to follow the BladeForums store link to Amazon.com and buy some of his books.

James, great humor! Thanks for sharing that.

I dunno about Larsen being a knife nut.. but he seems to be a cow nut.. hnn I guess that's unrelated.. ^_^;;

Been a Larsen fan for years.....missed that one. Luvvit !

And he WAS a cow fan. My earliest recollection of his work is the "car coming" cartoon. And I remember the "this one is for Bessie" cartoon.....real knife content.

Good one James.

Nice plug for Larson/Amazon/Bladeforums too! I saw yesterday where Amazon is laying off some people.
