    I wonder if these comics have a specific audience. I never find them funny, but people keep sharing them, so there has to be people that enjoy them.

      Weird how everyone doesn’t have the same tastes.

      You should check out bizarro, you’ll hate it. But you can ask them the same question there

    I feel like this could have been made funny, had it been worded with any amount of cleverness.

    Everyone complaining this isn’t funny doesn’t realize this was peak comedy in 1985. You are all just jaded.

    I think you mean 2023-16-08 https://www.thefarside.com/ Internet format dates stop both confusion and stupid date format arguments between Americans and Europeans.

    Edit: oh no oh no oh no, I meant 2023-08-16, what an idiot!

      Imagine saying yyyy-dd-mm is better than yyyy/mm/dd

        Yeah I think they just made a mistake or have misunderstood. Given the reference to “internet format dates” they must be talking about ISO 8601.

      This is the worst date format suggestion I’ve ever seen.

      Y/D/M? Seriously? The whole point of putting the broader numbers first is so you can sort them better. Why throw that out the window halfway through?

      doesn’t make any sense to not order the date chronologically. this is the one time i think the americans are doing it better.

        I actually meant 2023-08-16, but I secretly don’t think my error is any more illogical than the original. More hypocritical, perhaps!

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!
