      It’s a play of words on the saying “dropping like flies”

        thanks, but i was just kidding :)

        It’s almost a running joke at this point the amount of comments that express they don’t get the Larson comics :p

    The artist could have saved some time by just not making this

      I had the same thought about your comment, except for the word artist.

        I usually wouldn’t think twice about a post like this but I weirdly really hate this for some reason. It’s not a play on the phrase “dropping like flies” because there’s no play on it, just a flat reference

          I struggle to see the difference you are upset about.

            If there had been a misdirection to a second meaning for dropping it would be a pun or a joke not just a statement is my point

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!
