A more fair comparison might have been Gary Larson vs. Gahan Wilson.

Interesting. I think this comparison exists in different dimensions/planes (how cosmic is that?!?) On one level, if I wanted to make a comparison that emphasized the somewhat creepy, sordid view of life, I guess I would have paired Wilson-Kliban. OTOH, I purposedfully paired L+K because, while sharing a lot of format and general similarities, I think they are very different....
