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!

You didn’t necessarily have to delete the word truck.

I remember peeling this off the 'Off The Wall' calender 30 odd years ago.

This fucking rhyme has been worming around my head since, and will probably be my dying thought.

Especially if you choke to death on asparagus

Viable business idea in Germany.

Success is guaranteed if he swaps the green for white asparagus.

Unless he's magic like Riccardus the Ice Cream Man, he's just an Asparamonger. But we'll never know.

She reads the future by tossing asparagus in the air.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Was referring to the comic. In the above comic, we do not know whether or not the driver of the truck possesses divination abilities, we only know that he has a mouth like a sailor and sells asparagus from his vehicle.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not gonna lie, I could actually go for some asparagus right now...

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Being an adult means getting excited when asparagus goes on sale
