did I just realized there's a complete lack of aged superheroes?
we had so many batmen and... only one late middle aged one (Dark knight returns).

Batman Beyond had an elderly Bruce mentoring a younger Batman. Also had Superman with slight aging.
There was a very short-lived Dragonball manga where the Saiyans had become older, fat, and lazy.

Also, Old man Logan comic, movie and the Wastelanders audio show which are all slightly different timelines.

DC did an run called Kingdom Come in the 90s. It had all the old heroes aged up and a new generation of heroes taking over and being too violent for the old guard.

That's one of my favorite comics of all time.

Captain America got old. And Iron Man to some degree. Bruce Banner isn't that young really.

This artist refuses to draw human characters as anything other than fat and ugly.

No, but this is probably the most egregious example of my critique.

This is pretty middle-of-the-road for Larson's style, just how he draws people. But read enough of these and you'll find examples of ugly people as morally flawed (or vice versa), and the way he deals with "nerds" was a product of its time that has to seem pretty retrograde to younger people nowadays.
It doesn't ruin The Far Side for me, but stands out in a "you wouldn't do that now" kind of way.

Boomerisms. Fitting, given that Gary Larson is literally a boomer. Though, seeing a character drawn so off-model is going to irk me regardless of the artist's prestige.

His first name is Gary, can you imagine?

Especially the women.
