But why does the tree have a vagina?
Joe Rogan's origin story.
Yes, despite how it looks, in this case, Larson was just sketching exactly what he saw when he visited the Rogan family in 1983. He simply changed the name for legal reasons.
I think rogan is older than you think
I have no idea why the school thought I'd deliver that shit. Report cards, invitations to parent teacher nights... In the bin!
...not sure why I was trusted with it, and it felt strange that other children were just delivering it to their parents without a second thought.
Because they were raised to be honest and their grades would never result in them being shamed, only helped more? Because discipline? Because they had nothing to fear from their parents?
Just some possible reasons to consider. I never had a problem showing my folks. I did fairly well but had my weak areas too. Even failed a class once and had to re-take the next year. But I was never afraid to tell my parents, I just felt disappointed with myself but I knew I had tried as best I could. That’s all they ever expected of me.
I’m really sorry if your experience was less ideal. Sincerely, I mean it.
My parents knew exactly what day the report card was coming home. They'd be waiting for me two steps inside the front door asking me to present it the second I arrived home.
My school would always send out a calendar / schedule at the beginning of the year showing all the school days, report card days, holidays, teacher workdays, and so on. So there was no sneaking around that for me.
Oh, þe irony.
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
