Early Life and Influences
Born on August 14, 1950, in Tacoma, Washington, Gary Larson grew up with a fascination for animals and science. These early interests would later become central themes in his work. His father, a car salesman, and his mother, a secretary, encouraged his curiosity and creativity. As a child, Larson spent hours drawing and exploring the natural world, laying the groundwork for his future career.
The Path to Cartooning
Larson’s journey to becoming a cartoonist wasn’t a straight path. After high school, he attended Washington State University, where he studied communications. Post-college, he worked a series of odd jobs, including as a jazz guitarist and a department store worker. It wasn’t until his mid-twenties that Larson decided to pursue cartooning seriously.
