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.

Wow Garry really went that extra mile on the colouring of this one. It's so swish
I work at a place that makes a lot of NASA rockets - you can't believe how many times I've seen this on office walls over the years.
At least they made it pointy.
They missed their calling as prop and set designers for medieval fantasy.
