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

It's amazing how good 30+ year old Car Talk episodes are, as someone who had never listened while they were on the air and stumbled into the edited NPR rereleases a couple years back.
Where's the guy in the comments explaining it
i don't feel like you need to "get" it, i know about radio shows like these but i've never actually heard them, and it's still funny.
Maybe if you have no concept of such radio shows it won't be funny, but even then i feel like you'd get it just from what's shown, it's basically just the previous incarnation of streamers.
This is specifically a reference to Car Talk, a long-running show that ended recently (for a given value of recent) after one of the brothers died. Very beloved show. I think they still do reruns.
With Rattle and Hiss, the Slither brothers...
