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 God! You've chosen the seven of CLUBS! … A superstition will begin among certain Asian cultures that your horn, when ground up into a fine powder, is the source of a powerful aphrodisiac and that belief will in turn cause a great demand which will give rise to a depraved, merciless group of professional killers who will hunt you down, cut off your horn, and leave your carcass for the buzzards! … You are DOOMED! DOOMED! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. / I want my $2.00 back. / Madame Carlotta
