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!

I mean, it's literally the symbol of the Flash

Genuinely asking out of ignorance: What does The Flash have to do with this comic?

Apparently he is a brother of an ancient Tibetan order.

Thanks. It's all so much clearer now =)

You know how batman has a bat symbol on his chest? The symbol in this comic is literally almost an exact match for the Flash's logo worn in the same place

That time I was Reincarnated as a Chicken on my Brothers Farm and he almost ate me

Not enough words for an anime title. Also the anime has nothing to do with any of it.

The story of a chicken's near death and becoming dinner, to its rise to power and conquering the world, and building a harem.
