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!

Welp, I got wooshed, then. What game?
Cant remember the name but it was an old city builder where ya had to build luxury space resorts. Weird fucking game, still have it somewhere.
Edit: Found the box, its called Space Colony. Firefly and gathering are on the box no clue which is the publisher and which is the dev.
Do you remember what the grammar was that got corrected?
I think one of the characters said ain't. Its a completely pointless line that juat kinda glued to my memory for no reason. Hell it may have been part of a mod for all I know. I havent touched the game since like 2009.
Hehe if you are policing Gary Larson's (who likely will never even read your notes here) grammar, does this little slip up mean we should jump down your throat just the same?
Stones/glass houses and so forth.
Fixed. I would think that the fact that I was correcting the grammar in a 30 year old comic that is clearly being said colloquially by a teenager in said comic would make it obvious it's not serious in any way. I would think wrong.
I figured the "Hehe" would convey much the same. Alas, here we are, you correcting Gary Larson jokingly, people misunderstanding, me joking about you, you being mega ultra butthurt enough to give me -1 fake internet point on a site where the points never mattered. Personally I find this all hilarious and have chosen to gift you -1 internet point in return, and I hope it just gets right under that thin skin of yours.
