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!

keep your hand across your throat

What's the purpose of doing that around a massive dog?

hand confidently on the dog's head

Is the dog happy or angry? What change is this expected to cause in the dog?

massive lawsuit

How would the dog cause a massive lawsuit? What does that have to do with someone protecting their throat?

Anyway, it's just kind of absurd that he expects this from everyone who comes to the door.

To protect your throat

To project dominance

By biting guests in the throat

Yes, that's the joke

I’m at a total loss here. What’s that squarish environment they’re in? What’s going on with the sequence of english letters under the picture?

I guess some things will always be beyond my comprehension. Anyway, I’m off to walk my three pit rescues!
