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).

Very welcome and I’m in the same boat. Some I’m dying laughing, others get a chuckle and others I don’t get. I do appreciate the ones we don’t get as well, as someone usually chimes in with an explanation.
I bet it was the Harrison's squid. They're lying sacks of shit those Harrisons
This is why I don't tell my neighbours I've got a squid too.
I like the badonk he's hauling around.
