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!

RIP Bob.
I think granpa Bob survived and Bobs brother got sucked into the tar pit. Since on the maternal side granma Rose has a name as well.
I think Grandpa is Grandpa and his brother is Bob, who got stuck in a tar pit. Though the way Gramma Rose is done...eh I don't know.
They don't know what Rose/Ross (Gramma's sibling) looked like. They existed, but are represented with a question mark because nobody knows what happened to them. For all we know Rose/Ross was in an accident and died. You know, a Tyrannosaurus wreck.
