No, according to the publisher (Andrews McMeel), Mr. Larson is no longer licensing his cartoon for the calendars -- as per below quote. "Thank you for your email regarding our Far Side calendars. We always appreciate feedback from readers! As you may know, Mr. Larson stopped creating cartoons for newspapers in 1994, although he did continue to allow them to be used in his fantastically funny calendars. Sadly, Mr. Larson has decided to no longer license calendars featuring The Far Side cartoons, thus his 2008 calendars will be his last."
Sadly, no. Mr. Larson stopped creating cartoons for newspapers in 1994, but allowed them to be used in calendars. In 2008, he decided that would be the last year. So no more Far Side calendars. This is from the email response I got from www.andrewsmcmeel.com, his publisher.
Lower sales, and the semi-retirement of artist Gary Larson, led to the discontinuation of Far Side day-to-day calendars. Artists doing very similar cartoons are Scott Hilburn (The Argyle Sweater) and Leigh Rubin (Rubes).

If you want to draw them, then you could major in art. Otherwise you could do IT for the techinical side of cartoons.
