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!

Okay, just one question.

What?

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The guy, who presumably lacks one, smuggled a brain into the exam.

[–] tomten@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Looks like a pinecone to me 😀

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's what I thought too!

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this

Anything can be a brain if youre brave enough...

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 1 points 9 months ago

Ah. It still doesn't really look like a brain to me but that makes sense.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I feel I remember there was a caption to this one... "Midway through the exam [name] pulled out a bigger brain."

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Me too. The joke is quite hard to understand without one, because how are you supposed to know that the thing is a brain. Somebody in the comments mistook it for a pinecone.

I misread exam as "clam" at first and thought he was sneaking a clam to help him write the paper, and it was even more absurd.
