      I rarely get another, bigger laugh when a creator explains their creative process

      I was just thinking - the expression is perfect. Sort of perfect in its inscrutability. The kind of thing I wish I could draw on purpose when I’m doing faces.

    There was a trial in the UK about three men and a boy in a boat. The boy was an orphan and had drunk sea water and got sick… They are him then were rescued a week or two later I think.

    …here it is; 1884, the royal family vs Dudley and Stephens:

      Lovely. Determined to have been illegal.

      So after that, sailors made sure to lie about it.

    This would have been funnier with a cow, IMO.

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!
