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!

You tell him to read a book.

I think you should open your eyes.

You'll find that's usually the way the sighted read books.

I've read a book; the Bible, and it makes it clear that there are no other gods. Even an atheist can read the Bible and decipher that

As if it's not typical for y'all to read something and decide it means what you want it to mean and not what it literally says ;)

Yes, plenty of people do this. Notably theological liberals and people who view other doctrines and worldviews in judgement of the Bible. This isn't the standpoint I am arguing for, though.
