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!

That coat hook is pulling some M.C. Escher shit.

It almost looks like he erased half of it, meant to come back, and forgot before submitting it to publish.

He draws like AIs think. Except of course he doesn’t have access to millions of perfect images. Just what’s in his head.

I have turned this card over, now I'm staring at the back of my phone.

Hrm, maybe when that happens, turn it back over again? After that, continue to follow the directions on the card.

That's what "smart" people would do anyway - you are "smart", aren't you? 🧠

No, but they have a "smart phone"
