Sketchbooks

In an effort to get his creative juices flowing, Gary amassed an impressive collection of sketchbooks (a.k.a. his Dead Cow Scrolls) by playing with ideas or simply doodling away. Looking through them, you can't help but sense their personal, journal-like nature, their pages staggered with rough drawings, random thoughts, and things that may be best described as "other." Some of the sketches gave rise to great cartoons, some to great confusion. But they all telegraph the wonderful and weird mind that gave us The Far Side®.
