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!

Your user name looks much like an answer to this question, that took me a second.

Also looks like Hobbes is mauling Calvin in the top left.

I think that's Calvin in the upper left. I love this.

Is that Mafalda with a machine gun?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I think that's Nancy. Similar spikes along the edges of the hair.

Who is the character in the lower left with the heart on her shirt? That comic was fucking everywhere in the '80s but for the life of me I can't remember the name any more.

Which strip is to the left of Ziggy in the middle of the left bank of screens? Looks like something out of Five Nights At Freddy's.

Also, Opus thinking "Is that a camera lens?"
