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!

The grim reaper keeps coming for the wrong people
Making it to 91 and leaving such a legacy of new science? Not bad. Not bad at all. We should all hope to make such an impact on this world, and for so long.
Or, he’s coming for the right people. Death isn’t always a punishment. It’s the reward; the end of the long haul we call life. I envy those who get to move on from this shithole.
~Cue Carry On My Wayward Son~
You’re welcome?
If you haven’t already, and if a show like this might interest you, you should watch Supernatural. It is 15 seasons long, and I won’t spoil it for you, but let’s just say that song is a staple of the entire series. And aptly so.
And even if you don’t like that song, the show is worth it regardless.
~No spoilers, but they do an entire episode as characters in Scooby Doo.~
Now that song is going to be in my head all day long :^)
If only the afterlife was actually real
We won’t know until it happens. 🤷♂️
~I’m personally rooting for non-existence.~
Only a fool who doesnt understand what that entails would wish for that.
You would not find peace. You would not find anything. No fade to black, fade to invisible
lessee, there was a time before I existed, so that was non-existence, yeah? Seems pretty straightforward. In a universe where everything dies, even the stars, it’s pretty.. something.. to have the level of certitude you do.
Indeed. It's just too many talk about how "peaceful" it will be. It isnt peaceful. It is not anything
Right. Because you know everything. Got it. 👍
Are you trying to say non-existence implies some level of existence? Walk me through that one please.
No, I’m saying that you calling me a fool and suggesting I don’t understand what non-existence entails is pretty arrogant on your part.
I said what I said, and I meant it.
Fair enough
