Cartoonist Gary Larson, creator of The Far Side, is a genius because he shows us the humor in the obvious, but from a different perspective, one we normally wouldn’t think of. Here is an unexpectedly funny example.
The official website for The Far Side Comic Strip by Gary Larson (www.thefarside.com) posts The Daily Dose—a selection of classic The Far Side comics that are updated daily.
Two animated versions were produced for television: Tales from the Far Side (1994) and Tales from the Far Side II (1997). I saw them both. They’re hilarious and the music is great!!
