Anyone able to read more of the text on the display? I can see ‘believed to have been shed sometime in the second half of’ and then I can’t make out any more.
'believed to have been shed sometime in the second half of the 20th Century, this tear is (understood?) to be one of only two known to have (o---?) and the... [?? ?? ??] only [?? ?? ??]. The circumstances that lead to this [??] are still unclear, however'
“the 20th century. [unclear] year is [believed?] to be one of only two to have existed.” is next.
2nd half of the 20th century
The middle is something like “Believed to be one of only two known to exist.”
I wonder how many Far Side comics have living (at the time) political figures referenced in them.
There's the one from a few days ago (originally printed June 12, 1992) that makes fun of Reagan's lips.
A big difference is the Trump one is political.
The Regan one is just making fun of his lips.
Ah yes, the one where I stopped myself from making a lame joke about humans also having mosquito lips.
Did he shed the tear when he realized that he will never marry Ivanka?
The second when he found out he couldn't marry a hamberder.
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
