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!

I keep my spare armadillo in a violin case so I can sneak by people like this.

what do you say to the guy asking for spare violins?

[–] bran_buckler@kbin.social 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you keep both armadillos in a single case, it looks like you only have the one violin. A classic beginner mistake is to give each their own case.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

And that would just be nutty. Everyone knows a small violin case can hold two average size armadillos.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Open the case. "Sorry, armadillos."

I'd just say, "what do I look like I'm crazy? I keep my spare violin in my armadillo cage at home!"

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Clever. Imma remember to do this next time.

If you can afford a violin you can spare an armadillo...

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

I had to sell the violin the buy the armadillo.
