Nearsightedness and possible eating disorder

“Let’s see what’s going on.” My big brother and I had a group of stuffed animals, a whole host of characters, and we treated them as if they were all living their own lives outside of our awareness. So I would turn to my brother and say “do you want to see what’s going on?” And we would play out complex soap opera scenarios with the toys, who all had jobs and families, relationships, and drama. We’d just drop in from time to time to catch up on the story. Good times.

I had the exact same thought!

If you feel like the joke is going over your head, you’re most likely overthinking it. Farside comics are notoriously silly and simple. For the most famous example, check out the wiki article for “Cow Tools.” It should help put everything into perspective!

A note for anyone stumbling upon these comics for the first time: if you read too much into these, you’re going to walk away confused. If you don’t like that kind of humor, it probably just isn’t for you. I personally find them to be quaint and cozy, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Hope everyone scrolls long enough to find the one that hits right though!

Maybe I’m just too morbid, but I’m convinced this is a shrine. My imagination is running wild with “lonely old widow(er) has beloved dead pets stuffed in memoriam.”

I think the thing that stands out the most to me is the little dog on the right side, with his feet on the desk, looking directly at a picture of another dog.

That being said, I hope they were all alive during the taking of this photo. Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I’m now subscribed to all :)

Do you have pets?
