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!

Well all know the sheriff isn't going to look too hard. To him all chickens are guilty of something.

Be careful there, remember everything is penguins. So that would include you too.

Unless you're in Riverwood, then all the townsfolk become hostile and try and kill you.

(My first Skyrim play through I found out the hard way people are rather protective of their chickens.)

I did that too and I had to restart from the very start. Had to rewatch the beginning cutscene and remake my character because of that.

That’s like a $20k bounty with inflation.

Considering it's wild west times likely with inflation its about $100k-200k
