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!

Maybe he had one of those ties that have musical notes on them, and got curious (and careless)...

Unused idea for the title sequence to Westworld.

I feel like this could really benefit from some text below it. It's great as-is, I just think there's room for another chuckle.

Always check if the piano is breathing
