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!

Imagine for your whole life you just ate what everyone else ate and never looked at it or questioned it. Then one day you sort of wake up and realize you're eating paper or something.
I guess I just can't conceptualize it. What you said makes sense, and it still a bit funny, but I guess I was expecting more. There's no human equivalent to this that I can think of. Humor is funny.
Edit: maybe it's something that is funnier if I had been reading farside for awhile.
Mate, I have been seeing these comics in my feeds for months if not years and I just don't get them either. They're like ...a little bit weird, but that's it. I do not understand why people seem to like them.
Not hating, I just really don't understand.

It's flesh! We've been eating flesh!
I guess from that angle I can see it. I remember being a kid and realized that beef was cow. Fair enough. Still not haha funny to me, but I can understand it in that lense for sure, thanks.
