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!

Incase anyone doesn't get the reference (because why the fuck would you?)
All I have to say in response to that passage is: "Weird flex, but ok"
Damn the Bible reads weird. Imagine a Facebook post:
"I killed so many people with this jawbone. It was a Donkey. It was in that one town. Now I'm thirsty...."
Iirc it’s weird because of translation. It makes more sense in Hebrew or Greek
Hmm let's see ...
Nah that's not any easier for me
Better to have slain 1000 asses with the jaw of a man, than to have slain 1000 men with the jaw of an ass.
