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

My father did the "real reason dinosaurs went extinct" shirt
*The real reason dinosaurs became extinct
Mine too.
A classic. I would like to see the color "Drive George drive! This ones got a coat hanger!" I had the tshirt.
I naturally remember this one from time to time.
2024? I remember seeing this in the early 1980s
Impossible! It's © 1986
“Early” is a logarithmic scale. It’s the early part of the decade until the last 3-4 years. Later in our own century it’ll probably be more like 2-3 years.
I believe, these posts just mirror what's posted to the Far Side webpage, and there it happens that this comic from 1986 got posted again yesterday: https://www.thefarside.com/2024/10/28/4
