Hard to say who had the original idea but Gary Larson was the first I can remember...

I might have gotten them mixed up or attributed both to Gross. My memory is good, but short.

The buddy watch thing is interesting, I've seen a couple of Larson Cartoons that were a lot like earlier Jack Ziegler cartoons. I think it's hard not to cover the same ground.
