      Is it the raised eyebrow, the pursed lips? I see it too, but no. Alec would have bought two bowls of soup

    There’s a weird kind of poetry seeing this post next to one from c/greentext.

    This would also be perfect as a Ballard Street comic.

    Reminder that drawing two curved lines in empty space and calling one “convex” and one “concave” is hella confusing.

    Edit: Are you guys picturing a block with a convex side and a curved side? Because that’s four lines. Two unconnected lines are only convex or concave with reference to which side you’re talking about.

      He’s holding the spoon upside-down, in case you’re not seeing that…

        Oh, thanks for explaining it. I was doing a thought experiment, not commenting on Gary Larson’s drawing skills.

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!
