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

Poor tree. It had so much life in it.

Maybe it'll turn into a zombie!

It's still "alive", so he has to chop it one or several times more to "kill" it. Imagine that the tree is a fish, it's common to smash one on the head and think it's dead, then it starts wiggling around so you need to smash it again.

After falling, the tree trunk was still connected to the stump and was starting to rise again.

Only when the lumberjack chopped the remaining bit did the trunk fall for good.
