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.

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

Interesting the issue was with her being called "tramp", and not with it being insinuated that she was having an "affair" with a gorilla.
same thing as movies with characters being exploded in a rain of blood and gore being derided for having a woman show one nipple for 4 seconds

My mom would ask us close our eyes anytime boobs came on the screen. But would let us open them so we could watch Jason or Freddy hatch them to pieces. Never understood that.
I never did that with my boys and funny they didn't grow up weirded out about naked women.
