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!

This is one of the ones I feel like would benefit from no text. His editor probably thought people wouldn't get it then, though.

Needs something showing that they are digging a moat specifically. Like a wagon with "Joe's Moats Inc." On the side.

Joe would know how to dig a moat. This is their first time.

I didn't get it till I read the text

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, doesn't need the text really.

Even if it were on the outside, that is one tiny-ass moat.

It's agile development. First you make a moat. Get paid. And if that's not the moat they envisioned they need to hire you again to widen/deepen it.

His spatial arrangements are always so bonkers
