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!

I could tell this was boomer humor because I involuntarily rolled my eyes

Who is upvoting this boomer garbage?

Millennials are boomers now

Hmm, is my kid a boomer as well? Two of my kids love reading Far Side with me... (they constantly ask to see "the funny stuff")

The comic is probably older than you are, you gotta appreciate that tbh

But it says it's from the 8th of may 2024. Are you saying the posting bot would lie to me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Title is the day it was uploaded, and I don’t think they are a bot lol

And the date of the comic is in the upper right corner. In this case, 1982.
