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

Luckily, Eddie had stumbled upon a rare variety of deadly nightshade, the amicable Atropa belladonna congenialocus. (Later that same day, however, he blundered into some poison oak—a flat-out intolerant species.)

My name’s Elmo. Well, it all started rather innocently … killing socially, y’know … a game warden here, a tourist there … impressing the other guys, y’know. … But then I just couldn’t stop. … Sometimes I’d even stash an extra one in the crotch of a tree.
