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!

As a teen, I discovered that I could do a pretty good evil laugh, but it had a cooldown. That last part was interesting to me.

Skill issue. You need to earn more exp from doing evil activities to lvl it up.

Hmm, maybe. Would you like a free puppy?

This just reminded me of the first time I saw Austin Powers when I was flipping through TV channels and happened to stop at the scene where Dr. Evil and all his cronies are laughing around the conference table and was like "wtf is this?"

Can I just do an evil giggle instead?

Just like anything else in science, you have to master the basics before you can specialize.
