gary larson

i've never read anything that gary larson wrote, beside the captions of his comics obviously. the single frames of his comics make me believe that gary admired concise sentences. maybe, even, long sentences with latinate words made gary uncomfortable.
if gary were a writer, i like to believe that he would be consice and 'prolific'. he was a good comic illustrator, very close to being a good writer - both 'art'.
i want to have a gary larson 'method' to writing, drawing, taking pictures, even talking to people, even eating and drinking.
i feel better about abstract ideas when they are conveyed concisely. i like abstract ideas as opposed to facts and statements. i feel that a complete, concise abstract idea is more 'whole' than 300 pages or more of facts and statements.
this is why i like 'art' and gary larson.
