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

The tandem bike makes the whole joke. A normal bike would have been meh, but this is much funnier, because you wonder about the riders and their relation
Probably guys from the same bike
And also both of them missed it. Hah!
It’s like the old joke; three frogs are on a train track just hanging out. One of them says “watch out there’s a…” WUMP! “A what?” WUMP! WUMP!
It definitely made me wonder what the point of a tandem bike was to be included.
Then I thought it might have been funnier if the first rider was still on the bike while only the second rider hit the bridge, presumably because his view was blocked by the first rider who was able to see the bridge and duck in time to miss it.
