The Los Angeles Times, which carries The Far Side, has taken umbrage with my cartoon on several occasions. (Apparently, someone there actually reads the comics beforehand.) These three, as I recall, created some conflicts with the "good taste" standards of that paper, and I believe all three were deleted from their comic page back in the early eighties.

The first two I suppose are subjective, although I don't remember other papers censoring them. Their rejection of the elephant cartoon, however, had me baffled. I've always found it appalling that the demand for ivory has caused these magnificent animals to be continuously poached—but the ultimate act of contempt for the rights of wildlife has got to be represented by the elephant's foot wastebasket. And that's the point I was striving for in this cartoon—not that I was hoping to make a profound comment of any sort (the cartoon is really pretty inane, I think), but just who wouldn't be upset to find out something like this had been done to a former part of their anatomy?

Yeah, this seems more like something Calvin would do

Harsh but fair

The artist has had a string of comics where the joke is pretty much just harassment. It worked out here because of the absurdity:

But mostly it's just been haha harassment:

So this is an iteration on that joke, where the humor is that it's the girl doing the harassment because it inverts expectations or something. TBH I think this artist is the weakest of the C&H artists and one of the reasons I've thought about switching to posting old comics randomly from across all the history instead of sequentially.

This is one of my personal favorites based mostly on one character's facial expression. The simple "gag" is that Indians and horses are meeting for the first time and handshakes are going all around. But it's the horse gesturing toward the scenery that I felt "made" this cartoon. I can't express it, but there's something captured there that I just like. If I had to draw it over again, the other characters could be drawn a myriad of ways—but I don't think I could ever replicate that one horse's expression.

Also, interesting that they edited it to change the width so much.

The Vitamin String Quartet does a lot of instrumental covers of heavy music.

You can also try searching streaming services for phrases like " and chill" or "lofi "

For any argument of this nature, you can usually counter it with "ok, you first", like when policymakers talk about drug testing welfare recipients or the like. Let's see people like Trump or Musk livestream themselves 24/7 before pushing this on people with less social power.

At any rate, to answer the question, all of the Sovereign Citizen stuff posted over in !insanepeoplefacebook@lemmy.world has been super fascinating. Somehow, the government is all-powerful and hostile, but also if you say a few magic incantations they'll throw up their hands let you do whatever you want.

Since the transcriber just wrote "(Math equations on chalkboards)", I figured I'd try transcribing with unicode. This was the best I was able to do. Not quite as good as LaTeX

It might also be a reference to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but that only has one dancer. My guess is generic "Bees are known to dance" + "What if the beekeepers danced?", or maybe a little bit of all of the above.

Your second link says "They are still sold, and the model has gone surprisingly unchanged for the past 40 years.", but the link is dead 😄

Searching online shows a few books with that title but none of the toys, so probably not?
