Hi Eric,
It is even funnier with the original Gary Larson caption that read something
like "
Carl Sagan as a young boy".
You will recollect Carl Sagan had his Cosmos television series at the time,
and Larson was playing on Sagan's very aspirated way of pronouncing the
word "Billions" which he used in the the phrase that he is so fondly remembered
for,
"Billions and billions of stars".
One of my favourite Larsen's though had the room of scientists and there is
one particularly physically short scientist chalking equations on the black board
trying to convince a colleague of a point he is trying to make. Observing this
from across the room, one scientist is saying to another something like,
"There goes Wilson again, trying to gain support for his Little Bang Theory ..."
