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!

It's not cropped, it wasn't in the original image. So I copied the text as the body of my post since it's text on the original page.
Just put it in the title text instead of just date?
Its just not good. It takes extra effort and who can be bothered
Really? I see both on my screen at the same time. I'm not exactly sure how the normal person does it, but screenshotting each seemed like a pain and would have crappier image quality.
But given the downvotes, I guess people don't like this method. So I guess I'll try something else the next time the regular poster misses a day.
I appreciate the posts, downvotes be damned. It works for the layout I'm viewing it on just fine
