July 13, 20205 yr 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.

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. {Staring at this post with a very unbelieving, quizzical look on my face}. You serious Clark ? They're fucking timeless.

July 21, 20232 yr Popular Post 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.
July 29, 20232 yr Popular Post 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.

December 25, 20232 yr Author I laughed. I was too young for those to be popular but I remember my dad talking about them. https://www.thefarside.com/2023/12/25/4
December 25, 20232 yr Because you lost a comrade that day? Look on the bright side of the far side...you're still here with us.
February 8, 20241 yr 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. Edited February 8, 20241 yr by YGIFS

April 9, 20241 yr Here’s my favorite. It always made my dad belly laugh so very nostalgic memories from growing up:
