    With how obscure some of these are, it was a little on the nose to literally say “MISSILE” on the side lol. Thanks Gary, I think I could have figured that one out.

      Sometimes people need some help with the obvious.

        If you push hard enough, it will open.

      I like to think it was labelled for the nerds and not us

      To be fair, it was probably going to be printed in black and white on shitty newspaper paper.

      I think there’s a website out there dedicated to explaining the joke in Farside comics because they so regularly make no sense to me, to the point that I can’t even find them funny.

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!
