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!

Or it's like a kid playing a game and interesting has a slightly different meaning. Yeah all my life forms thrived in harmony in my previous play throughs but this time I'm giving one of the smart ones a fun trait to make them incompatible with anything else to see what happens.

I did have the lid falling off thought when I first saw it though.

tbh i can totally imagine that without terrible people we'd still all be living as hunter-gatherers with the odd permanent settlement around a temple.

that shit is just peak, imagine creating your own garden of eden and just walking around naked picking berries and making flint knives.
