Some background on this comic:

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 28 points 2 weeks ago

That's exactly how the comic reads haha

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago

Another one that just goes over my head. Is the joke just meta, that the bear was made to look like the hunter "fought it" instead of taking a cheap shot from a safe distance?

[-] notnotmike@programming.dev 52 points 3 weeks ago

Yes I think that's the correct interpretation

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 24 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. Its one of my favorites.

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 21 points 3 weeks ago

You got it right. Poor thing was just getting a drink and the hunter staged it as a monster.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

Im saying the bear just pretended to die, then pretended to get gutted and skinned and when the time came it killed the hunter after the 4th frame.

New rule. Hand to hand combat, take what you can carry out. No clothing or weapons beyond what you get genetically.

I suspect the rhino, elephant and lion populations will benefit.

[-] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I was born with hunting gear fused to my body and knives for fingers, am I prepared for rhino fighting?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Reality good criticism of hunting for sport

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

With and without context, that's really fucking sad.

Imagine you're a ~~deer~~ bear. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little ~~deer~~ bear lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head!

[-] remotedev@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?

I haven't seen this movie in like 25 years, but I still read this in Marisa Tomei's voice.

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
