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!

Is she putting the dogaway back into its box? If so, because it did its job? Or did they just buy a brand new dogaway and are about to release it for the first time? It looks like she is pushing the box down on that dogaway’s head, so it leads me to believe it’s the former. But based on the instructions that the guy is reading it leads me to believe it’s the latter.

I think Mrs. got a little too anxious and instead of putting the box in the yard, tried to open it inside. She’s just now realizing her mistake but the proverbial genie can’t be put back in the bottle. The barn door is attempting to be closed with the lovecraftian horse running free. Dog-be-gone also doubles as Karen-be-gone

This was my take too. The anti-dog folks aren’t too bright.
