I think the original Far Side is pretty rare in the sense that it actually ISN'T dated, at least compared to the competition.

It's not.  This stuff is still funny, and my 7 year-old even laughed.

Yeah I still think that's a good one...But man, I tried really hard to get my son into it and he it was a total fail. And almost nobody his age is into it, either. (He's 24.) It's weird when you try to show something to your kids and they just don't think it's funny at all...It makes you wonder if it ever really was. On the other hand, you can listen to tired music like "Stairway to Heaven" with your kids when they are first starting to get it and you start to love it again. 


Eh, I think humor changes, and not for the better. A lot of younger folks don’t get Mel Brooks.

It hasn't aged well. I am not sure why not, but it just hasn't. I think his style got ripped off by companies like Chik-Fil-A (Eat Mor Chik'n) and now it just seems old and tired in a way it didn't when he broke ground with it.

Unlike Calvin & Hobbes, which is eternal.

I don’t want to share a world with people who don’t appreciate Mel Brooks.

Three years is way too long for a Far Side injection. The Musers brought this one up earlier.

Elaine Benes fans will appreciate the connection.

Once in a blue moon, I stumble upon a Far Side that I hadn't previously seen before. This one had me chuckling pretty good this morning.

The details in the inkblot cards are what really make it land.

Not sure what’s so funny about 2 pictures of a vagina

Adding to this, I was never quite sure if it's a painting or a mirror.

Huh. Is that a shadow in the lower left?

Yes. But it works whether it’s a painting or a mirror.

That's on them.  Mel Brooks is a fucking genius.

Because you lost a comrade that day?  Look on the bright side of the far side...you're still here with us.

Man, that little desk calendar thing.  I can still hear the click of that black plastic stabler device as I set it back down in my table.  
 

We had high expectations for the reboot, unfair as they were.  With no disrespect to your opinions; there will never be a funnier one than the dogs with chainsaw trying to get the cat out of tree.  All else is commentary.

Every now and then I see a far side strip show up in my feed and think of Surly….

Here’s my favorite. It always made my dad belly laugh so very nostalgic memories from growing up:

Happy 74th to the creator of the only comic strip in history that was (is) actually funny.
