Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!

His spatial relations, boy. That room exists well beyond the bounds of normal physics. 😂

This sounds like every dream I've ever had where I'm being pursued and need to outrun something.

Until they realize they can get you faster if they run in opposite directions.

waxing floors is a wholly new concept to me, people do that?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I actually don’t think they do anymore. I never considered that before

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

It's old. I remember detergent commercials from the early '80s that claimed they were the best for "no wax floors "

"Mom, do we have a no wax floor?"

"Have you ever seen me wax the floor!!?"

It was definitely a thing.
