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

When I was a kid, me and my dad were riding in the truck with my grandpa downtown in a small central valley (California) town. They had recently started a trolley service, but it was in the lanes with the regular traffic and they only went about 15 mph. They were not widely used, since it was only available downtown and this small town is entirely car-dependent. My grandpa was getting more and more frustrated at the trolley in front of us, and as we were getting to the end of downtown he says "I bet there's only one clown on this goddamn trolley." Without skipping a beat, the trolley stopped to let out one singular person-- a man in clown costume.
It was the funniest fucking thing. I still crack up at it, 30 years later.
