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!

Box says gas included. Gary thinks of everything

Maybe the gas is in a sealed container and for good measure is located in the top part of the box.

Wait, are we arguing about a 35 year-old unfunny comic? Here we are

To be fair, it was funny to me 35 years ago. I guess I still look at them for nostalgia. I had shirts with prints of the comics! "Pigeon: Poopus Monumentous" was my favorite.

He even thought of going underground as soon as technology developed, kinda like the Unabomber.
