For those who have a problem with the direction, the devil simply used a cow tool to pie the angel
So that's what it's for!
I always disliked this one. The pie looks like it has just hit, but the devil's position and direction is all wrong for that.
I chalk ones like this up to him trying his best. Though i totally agree with you, it's hard to visualize the action because of the way it's drawn
Most escalators I've seen have the opposite directions parallel to each other. I assume he came up with the joke that's what he was thinking, but when it came to actually drawing it that didn't track very well, so he changed the layout without thinking about how that changes the joke
You're assuming that the devil did the evil act, just because he has this shit-eating grin? Wow, shocking, I thought you were above this kind of stereotypes.
Definitely over thinking this:
Devil does not want angel to see it coming so stands normal with the pie held low so its not visible.
Only during the passing does devil quickly turn their hips to hit the pie. Then naturally turns hips back into the normal position.
The pie is slightly sticky so it does keep hanging.
What bothers me is where do they come from? They don't start at the same level. Ive heard of a chance to still get to heaven after hell/purgatory, besides one famous case i have not heard of angels being send to hell.
Also i don’t think religion says anything about souls becoming an angel or demon, they co-exist and as far as i know don’t leave their domain.
It's in heaven (angels in heaven is normal), and the devil is obviously coming back from a meeting with god.
I'm overthinking this?
No no, I am.
It all started when I was a young child and my mother took me to the big mall one town over. The one with the two story Sears that had the childs pants on the second floor.
Go on...
Maybe it’s Halloween at a mall

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
