    I think that’s also one of the comics that got its caption switched with Dennis The Menace, isn’t it?

    The slugs one had its caption accidentally repeated on the next strip, about pest control for a treehouse. He got a lot of phone calls asking him to explain the joke.

    Ah, that’s right. The dennis the menace one had Dennis telling his dad he saw his petrified skull labeled on a shelf somewhere

    I can't think of a single Dennis strip that wouldn't be improved by a random far side caption.

    It really just makes it more obvious that Dennis is a budding sociopath

    If they had to Nancy it and have Far Side taken over by a younger cartoonist, I think KC Green would do great

    Also its so weird how serendipitous it is that the one with the sandwiches happened to be a comic about food for both strips.

    Larson talked about that in The Prehistory of The Far Side

    he said, basically, that it was hilarious, and both comics were vastly improved with the switched caption

    Shorty on

    one of my favorite things in TFS is how gary larson couldn't draw an attractive person to save his life

    no matter what they're always a big round fleshmonster with a caveman brow

    He was (joking) on Twitter about having to stop doing Fuck-Off if TFS came back

    Yeah I was gonna say KC Greens Fuck-Off is essentially TFS but with more peeners in there sometimes.

    fuck off isn't anything like the far side

    it's a sendup of the genre, and not a particularly good one

    Fuck Off is a thing that sometimes makes me chuckle and I will not explain to anyone why it makes me chuckle if they don't chuckle at it because I don't really want to investigate why I am chuckling at it.

    That's probably the most KC can expect from it.

    yeah I don't really think Fuck-Off is funny very often
    some times it is bitter in the same way that I am bitter and then I like it.

    I was unaware that this existed, and that the Fuck Off comic existed. The latter does not seem like my cup of tea, though the guillotine one above is okay.

    Learning a lot of things in this thread.

    They were called Tales From the Far Side and they are just bizarre dialogueless vignettes. And they hit a really bizarre tone that I’m all about

    As a reminder. New Bloom County got us a legit new Calvin and Hobbes strip thanks to April Fools so that makes it good in my boat.

    What's great is, reading it as a kid was just as funny as reading it now. Both interpretations are valid.

    Like the opening lyrics to Vodoo, this comic is something that enters my brain at least once a month.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
