    Was this comic from today? I didn’t know they still published Far Side. Glad they are still being published!

        Why in the world would the title say June 4th 2024? Is the OP trying to pass these off as current?

          OP is just republishing the comics of the day published on the official Far Side website.

            If Gary Larson were no longer with us, he’d be spinning in his grave.

              Instead, he’s spinning in his office chair

          Take a look through all the old posts. They all just have the day’s date on them.

            That’s insane. Why would someone post old comics with modern dates? Why not just post the original date, unless they were trying to be deceptive? We already know what today’s date is. Truly bizarre.

              I think they’re posted on the website with today’s date as the title.

              I’ve complained about the same thing, this is just the title of the page on the website that gets filled into Lemmy when posting.

      As others have said, these are taken from Gary Larson’s daily website posts of old comics.

      He is still drawing. Although retired, he recently got a tablet and has been experimenting with it, so he puts out new comics on his website every so often when the mood strikes him.

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

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
