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!

If the contact lens was the size of a city block, the wearer would be around 7-8 miles tall. And while that's very large on a terrestrial scale, on the cosmic scale it's infinitesimal. Since God is the creator of heaven and earth, and heaven includes all star bearing galaxies, the Creator must be greater than the created, which is around 93 billion light years across. Further, contact lenses are corrective, and God is without flaw, so this couldn't be God's contact lens. But it cannot be a terrestrial contact lens. So it must be celestial, but for something that needs correction. The only celestial beings that would have flaws are fallen celestials.

This is Satan's contact lens. Satan is no more than 8 miles tall

Didn’t Stephen King write a book about that?

God: now it’s got to be around here somewhere…

(Ring Ring, Ring Ring) God: go for God!

Pray’ey: Oh god! Oh Christ! Why is this happening!? My god it’s horrible!

God: Now calm down, your gonna have to narrow it down, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Pray’ey: God why have you forsaken us?!

God: Well, without any specifics I can safely say, all things happen for a reason.

Pray’ey: Why have you dropped this giant glass disk on our town?

God: Oh that’s where I put that.
