Brevity (comic strip)
Brevity is a single-panel newspaper comic strip created by Guy Endore-Kaiser and Rodd Perry, and currently drawn by Dan Thompson.
Publication history
Brevity originally began on Comics Sherpa. Endore-Kaiser cited Gary Larson's The Far Side as an inspiration. The strip was originally intended to be called Cow Tools, in homage to a notorious Far Side cartoon, but the authors were forced to change it after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from lawyers representing Larson. The strip debuted with United Feature Syndicate in 55 newspapers on January 3, 2005. Today, Brevity is published in over 130 newspapers in the USA and Canada. There are currently four published collections and one treasury.In the past few years GoComics.com has allowed visitors to submit comments on each strip.
