Larson stopped drawing The Far Side in 1995 due to burnout and a desire to regain control over his work's distribution and usage. He felt frustrated by merchandise and licensing practices. He returned in 2020 after feeling creatively refreshed and wanting to reconnect with his audience on his own terms.
