I've tried replicating his style and humour (sorry about the spelling, I'm english) and it's very difficult to do. There is (as you say) something of a Larson about his work, with Zap's ability to put you in the moment and tell a story with just one picture and a salient bit of dialogue.
Somehow he takes a mix of sarcasm, grumpy old man and razor sharp wit in perfect proportions and illustrates it with a slightly grotesque and unusual style. You're never going to fall in love with any of those characters, but boy do they perfectly match the sentiment!
Sadly not as popular as it deserves to be, and I think that really helped bring about its demise. I would also love to see the return of the great master, but sadly I don't think it will ever happen.
It's an amazing tribute, and thank you for including one of my green aliens.

Great analysis. That's makes them sound even better than Larson's
The Great Master indeed. Well even Masters retire.

I think that Remulak realised that this platform just didn't have the right audience for him.
I've just looked up the Rutles - might have to track that movie down!

A website full of anime, porn, furries and children isn't the right platform for his cartoons? Surely you jest.

It was a good switch, I'd have been proud of that one! (and well spotted McGrenivan, you switched the posters!!)

You’re also tearing the very fabric of parody by putting 2 DIFFERENT Rutles posters in the same place where there use to be a Quarrymen poster.

My only defense is that The Riff Raff Cafe is a magical place. May it rein for years to come.

I glad that you're honored, but you'll probably feel differently after Thursday's cartoon.
Actually, I do believe there IS still one more of your cartoons in the pipeline, but it's only a rumour at this point.

Or am I just thinking of "The Picture of Dorian Gray"?
