DPChallenge: A Digital Photography Contest
 
Challenge Details
Far Side: Gary Larson Tribute
A Member Challenge using the Advanced Editing IV rules.

Description
Gary Larson created the "Far Side" comic strip in 1980, and it was wildly popular until he discontinued it in 1994. Your challenge is to use your photographic skills to emulate Gary's work. His captions were usually central to the concepts he was exploring, so titling/captioning may be critical here. To see samples of Gary's work, use Google Images and search "Gary Larson Far Side".

Extra Rules
Neither the "major elements" clause nor the "Text" clause apply to this challenge.
