Nature's Way began as six comic strips submitted in 1976 to the Pacific Search, a local magazine in Seattle. This was Larson's effort to get away from retail music store job. He was paid $90 for the lot, which encouraged him to produce more cartoons. He soon began submitting weekly cartoons to a newspaper, The Sumner News-Review, which paid him $3 a cartoon. With such earnings, his enthusiasm began to wane, and he began to revert to his previous situation as a non-cartoonist.

  • Nature's Way began as six comic strips submitted in 1976 to the Pacific Search, a local magazine in Seattle. This was Larson's effort to get away from retail music store job. He was paid $90 for the lot, which encouraged him to produce more cartoons. He soon began submitting weekly cartoons to a newspaper, The Sumner News-Review, which paid him $3 a cartoon. With such earnings, his enthusiasm began to wane, and he began to revert to his previous situation as a non-cartoonist. In 1979, a reporter he had shown his work to got him published in The Seattle Times. It was published on a weekly basis with a payment of $15 per cartoon. Because they chose to position it right next to a children's crossword puzzle, it began to draw complaints. These were enough to get the strip canceled in 1980, just a few days after Larson got a contract with the San Francisco Chronicle, which jump-started his career. Eventually, the name was changed to The Far Side. In The Prehistory of the Far Side, Larson commented, "They could have called it Revenge of the Zucchini People for all I cared" as he was so happy to be eagerly accepted into the San Francisco Chronicle.
