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!

This is just the plot of Hook.

And published 3 years after Hook’s release, so very much a pop culture reference.

These days, he could work from home in Never Never Land.

Hmmm. Not sure that'd work. If you don't age, does that mean time doesn't pass? In which case you'd probably be fired for lack of output (unless you're a C suite or above)

Surely he'd automate his job and check in every so often when he comes back.

Buying a house is the real never never land

It’s like living in my early 20s … forever!

If this is supposed to be about me or others, Orbs are a technology you can shoot lasers out of by redirecting energy, and also design a computer within.

It's all based on simple shapes... https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/circle-theorems.html
