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

is this the comic that finally someone won't reply saying "I don't get it?"
Mario 2 was released in 1988, 3 years before this comic. Larson is a gamer confirmed
I don't get it
It's "broken logic" you can't make sense of it. It's a playing with proximal but unrelated concepts.
In this case
- aliens are pictured as technologically advanced
- cave people are pictured as technologically primitive
- cave people's version of an alien UFO uses primitive technology
It just tickles the brain.
haha thanks mate, but I was just poking fun at @funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works's comment. I love Gary Larsons humor, I had most of the Far Side Gallery books as a child :D
Ahhh too late I saw the other comments lol right on
