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

Oh dear, I still don't get it
here are the correct relevant words to the song/nursery rhyme:
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
everywhere that Mary went
her lamb was sure to go
Without zooming in, I thought that was her husband.
Omg yes, unless you zoom in, the sheep just looks like a dude
Or maybe a dude in a sheep's clothing
I love that Larson could make this joke with or without the twist on Mary Had A Little Lamb.
Like, it would feel just as much a Far Side comic if her name were Nancy and she had been followed by a duck.
That's such a great point.
Nancy had a little duck.
Whose feathers glistened yellow,
Everywhere that Nancy went,
The duck was sure to follow.
I like that the TV is on the floor. >!Although that wasn't that rare in the 80s.!<
Console television.
