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

Larson spent a lot of time thinking about the secret lives being lived in his refrigerator.

He spent a lot of time at home

Indeed, though not more than I do. I spent more time thinking about what happens inside Larson's refrigerator than my own. Maybe it's the fridge?

A friend growing up had this comic on the fridge

Would be more funny if the ketchup was shot already (red splatters) and the mustard had pissed themselves (yellow leaking)
