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!

Would be annoying to have a bell ringing constantly throughout the dinner

You’ve never had a Betazoid dinner, I see

My favorite is when they quickly splash some water on their hands and walk out like deep down they don’t believe they’re lying to themselves

Dental Denial: just using mouthwash without brushing or flossing. Must be a handwashing equivalent.

Okay, as someone who isn't a germaphobe or anything like it, I'm a firm believer that's it's absolutely disgusting, regardless of who does it, to not wash your hands after going to the bathroom in general.

I believe it's pretty ingrained in Muslim and Jewish culture to wash the hands frequently.
