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 don't understand the implication, what was she feeding them before?
Copyright 1982? What was happening then?
It's about dogs tending to be excited over the same things over and over again.
The green bowl represents the greed of politicians. The woman is obviously Nancy Pelosi, or maybe Elizabeth Warren. The food is our money. They want us to eat dog food. The cabinets behind us (the animals they view us as) represents the Biden administration sneaking up on us. The red ketchup represents the communists.
Jesus, this is easier than I thought. Alex Jones is a hack lol
Now the real question is do you have morals, or do you want to fleece the idiots. Anyone can make a fortune pandering to their base, I'm just couldn't live with myself making it that way.
I think about this so much when I start getting stressed at work. Like, it can't be that hard, Gavin McGinnis does it! Then again, all of their grifts are cooking around them right now.
Dogs just being dogs. No concept of: kitchens, culinary delights, wide variety of foods, grocery stores, etc. They be hungry... you make... dog love you. Dogs don't know. ☺️
1982? Perhaps foods was fattier or tastier then. Only time I have my tongue like that was when Shakey's Pizza was still around.
Probably a boomer joke about how the dog food is better than her cooking.
I can't imagine how much bored one needed to be to find all these comics entertaining back then.
Going through them now is a bit different, they're not exactly entertaining, they're, idk, a weird echo of a time long gone.
