    I do not understand any of the comics from thefarside. Am I too young or just out of touch?

      In this panel, the total absurdity of the closet full of live ducks fails to dent the world-weary cynicism of the veteran homicide detective.

        I think the axe factors in here too. I would guess those are farmed ducks and the axe is what the farmer used to dispatch them. So the ducks killed him to save themselves (or as vengeance. Or both.)

      They’re generally absurdist, non sequitur, tongue in cheek, or a 180 perspective flip, if that helps

      You just need to stop trying to understand and accept.

    I thought the lightbulb was a duck that had hung himself and was facing us…

    I loved the far side when I was a kid, but seeing these again now and I don’t remember them being this absurdist. I mean, I still love it though

      I think kids are much more open to absurdity than adults are.
