“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.

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!

It’s not just about individuality in appearance, but could be an allegory for wealth and equalization. Like I said, could be way off base since I only remember the gist of it.
