      You think being stuck on a deserted island might be one of Larson’s fears?

      If you were stuck on a desert island, which Far Side collection would you bring?

        I thought about how to answer this seriously, but I guess my mind never distinguished any one of the collections from another. I’d always just pick one up at random and start flipping through it.

          Yea I meant it only as a joke, but I couldn’t think of any particular collection either. Unlike Calvin & Hobbes for example, which had great collections like Scientific Progress Goes Boink and Attack of the (something something something) Snow Goons

    Is there an RSS feed available for these? I can use kbin’s RSS but it just links to these posts which isn’t ideal

      I found an auto-generated feed someone made here https://dyn.tedder.me/rss/farside/daily.xml that I use. I don’t remember how I found it.

      There’s no ship, but when Bob puts on his glasses he will see the fake ship drawn on them. It’s a prank, I guess🤷

      I struggled initially too. I thought the ship was reflecting in his glasses and was trying to figure out why he was preparing to kill him with a scalpel.

    This wouldn’t work very well because the ship would be way too close to his eyes for him to be able to focus on it. It’d just be a blurry mess.

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!
