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!

the psychically disabled

It's always been so hard for the psychically deaf to get ahead in this world... Getting discriminated against in job interviews, having to hustle pencils on the side of the street. All because we can't move shit with our minds or speak without our mouths.

My co-workers are always talking to each other telepathically when I'm around, laughing about their psychic in-jokes, knowing I can't hear them. It's honestly so rude. They're probably making fun of me in there, tossing mean comments in the conduit between their attuned minds 😠

Well guess what? The psychically deaf are just as good as the psychics! There's nothing they can do with their minds that we can't do with good old fashioned human muscle 😤 we deserve respect!
