I am not "that" Gary Larson. I remember when I first started working as a comedian, I got a fortune cookie that read, "Your name will be famous in the future." I put that fortune in my wallet and saved it. A few years later, when my name got famous without me, I took it out and burned it.
I like doing the NYT crossword. One of the puzzles was created by a dude named Gary Larson, and I was curious if it was the Gary Larson.
He answered in an interview:
If I were him - I'd go by a different first name.
it me Larry Garson
