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

There's "smaller" trucks available, they're just the same size as an early '00s full size
And basically the same price as the full size, but you have to special order.
"Got it, we'll make the full sizes even bigger and more expensive"
-Car Manufacturers
Except they don't have the same bed size as those early '00s full size trucks.
But not as capable in terms of payload and towing capacity, if you need that.
People who don't use their car professionally hardly need to tow anything in their day to day lives. And payload, the most cargo that they haul would be luggage for family vacations or the weeks groceries, and then, protected cargo space is more important, because you don't want your luggage or groceries to be lost or stolen. These trucks have this cover that can be placed on top of the truck bed, but that limits cargo space to less than a stationwagon.
