    Because I hate psychological abuse of children, I ironically love this. Similar to throwing a plate of food on the ground and yelling, “clean it up.”

    It feels weird to date the comic with the date it was recently published on the website rather than the 1987 we see in the Copyright text and can immediately feel in the outdated joke

      Why do you feel that the joke is outdated?

        Dad would be controlling the “thumper” with an app today.

          One day people will be beaming terrifying thoughts directly into their children’s minds and this comic won’t make any sense at all.

            Hit that kid’s neuralink with a flipper zero and beam the entire anthology of Dracula Flow, they beam back skibidi_toilet_downpitched.exe, “the door opens…and it opens outward: we’ve been inside what we wanted all along. Das ist komisch.”

        “lulz, no one uses a wired connection to control their child-terrifier machine anymore” and “lulz, why is the man holding sheets of paper in his lap”

        Maybe, I dunno… the joke feels timeless enough to this old man.

          Back in my day, my dad thought it was hilarious to deliberately frighten me and I, uh, didn’t like it.

            So it’s not outdated, it just strikes a personal chord.

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!
