Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The most literally boomer humor comic ever.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 10 months ago

I can accept literal boomer humor. But the "wife bad" humor just sucks.

Not only that, an ancient joke from the 1960s, passed of as an original comic strip

No fuckin shame

And “Via The Far Side” but obviously not.

This guy needs to get back on his meds.

This is not The Far Side

Yeah fantastic way to source the wrong artists despite him signing the comic.

You've never heard of Gary "The Greg" Larson?!?!?

You've created a time paradox!

You could say we are the far side of the The Far Side.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 10 months ago

I think your problem is not actually knowing what The Far Side is.

Reminds me of a joke I heard years ago. I forget the full set up but basically:

Three guys are asked: What's the fastest thing you think of?

The first guy says "A thought! Y'know it's just there!"

The second guy says "Light! When I turn on the light switch in my garage the lights on the far end turn on instantly."

They all murmur in agreement while the third guy is still thinking of an answer. Finally he speaks up.

"Diarrhea."

"Diarrhea!?!?" Everyone asks dumbfoundedly.

"Well yeah. Before you can think or turn on the lights you've got shit all over you!"

Ah yes, The Far Side, where Snoopy's boss is always on his case, and he and his pet stuffed tiger really hate Mondays..

Ack!

[–] Macaroni_ninja 11 points 10 months ago

You would need a 4th guy with the matching shirt to express how old this joke is

What should I do so Indian oldies have these problems and stay busy with these? Are there any tricks? They seem to suck our blood right now.
