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!

Yup, that is the joke. Good boy.

I'm a woman. But its tradition to explain Far Side comics. There's always someone who doesn't get it.

Usually it's me, which is how I know there's usually someone explaining it.

Weird "tradition" if no one here has ever done it before.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never? It has not ever been done here?

You sure?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I looked there past two weeks and no one did it unless someone was saying they don't get the joke.

So, no, its not a tradition.

You didn't say, "No one has done it in the past two weeks." You said, "No one has done it before." Very different things.

And a weird little fight to pick with a complete stranger either way.

People here are the worst.

It'S a TrAdiTiOn.

It's like nobody here knows to just cut bait when they get called out for saying stupid shit. 100% of the time the reaction is to double down on the stupid.

Exactly. And then that other guy chiming in about how it's weird to do exactly what he was doing himself lol
