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

I never thought I'd see migratory birds with a bumper sticker like that.

Don't let the modern bullshit fuck your brain. That's Donald Duck. The only Donald. Maybe Sutherland. Nothing else. Ever.

Yeah, ducks can get ugly. Many are into duck whistles and tend to find some appeal in dynasties. Some will even say they want to drain the swamp, but I don’t really think they understand what that means.

Also the richest one is literally a Scrooge.

Did a double take on that bumper sticker.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

!agedlikemilk for sure, even if it was referring to somebody completely different.

OT, but do people really have bumper stickers in FRONT? I mean, who would be able to read it and honk in time? (Disclaimer: I'm from EU, don't drive and don't know much about US driver culture).

No, people don't. I'm pretty sure it's in front for artistic license. He wanted to show the ducks talking but also wanted to show a funny bumper sticker.

[–] netvor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

On second thought, the fact that the sticker is in the front -- and specifically that someone like me is going to pause at that -- could be pretty much an intended "bonus" joke.
