The ancient Egyptians had a special regard for animal humor and cartoons, given the many examples of sketches on papyrus, paintings, and other drawings such as ducks pecking at someone's behind, baboons and cats out of control, animals riding on top of other unlikely animals, baboons playing instruments, and animals drinking and dining.

I guess Gary Larson is a lot older than we thought.

In the first link, the "urethane" comment is priceless.

Sure, you have to be a theater or english major person to really find it funny. But, dammit, it's funny.
